New Matter: Inside the Minds of SLAS Scientists
Accidental Discoveries - Digital Magnetic Cell Sorting Technology with Coleman Murray, Ph.D.
Show Notes

We're joined by Ferrologix Inc.'s Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer Coleman Murray, Ph.D., to talk about the company's digital magnetic cell sorting technology (DMS).  Murray provides background on DMS by comparing it to traditional magnetic cell sorting and the applications of DMS. Similar to the discovery of penicillin and the microwave, hear how an accidental discovery became Murray's thesis and eventually led to a start-up company.
