Professor Stott is a Mechanical Engineer that works at the interface of technology and medicine. She has an extensive background in microfluidics, optics, and biopreservation, with a focus on their applications in clinical medicine. As a postdoctoral fellow, she invented the herringbone circulating tumor cell chip (HBCTC-Chip) a device that can successfully capture extremely rare cancer cells circulating in the blood stream of cancer patients. Manipulating blood flow for the isolation and separation of biological components has been a hallmark of her work and recent efforts include using microfluidics to separate extracellular vesicles and nucleic acids from patient samples. The primary goal of the Stott Laboratory is to use these technologies and techniques to improve patient lives through early diagnosis and a greater understanding of how cancer spreads and kills. Dr. Stott has 12 patents issued or pending, and her research has been highlighted in Nature, Science, CNN, and MIT Technology Review. Dr. Stott has been awarded the American Cancer Society’s Women Leading the Way to Wellness Award, the 2021 MGH Mentorship Award and was a Kavli Frontiers of Science Scholar.
