We sought guidance on the physical delivery methods of muscone. Ultimately, we agreed on two promising approaches. The first involves using an atomizer driven by a microcontroller to disperse muscone throughout a space, allowing one or more users to alleviate IBD symptoms. The second approach suggests using a hydrogel that repeatedly absorbs and releases muscone solution, offering continuous delivery. When combined with a wristband or bracelet, this allows for on-the-go administration. In both cases, muscone can be dissolved in water or alcohol, providing a replenishable and long-term solution.

Xu Youchun, an associate researcher at the School of Medicine, Tsinghua University.
<p><strong>Why</strong><br>
Xu Youchun has extensive experience in the precise manipulation of small samples and fluids, which is crucial for developing innovative solutions in medical and diagnostic fields. His research in microfluidic technology enables the precise control of fluids at very small scales, a skill that aligns perfectly with the challenges of delivering muscone in a controlled and efficient manner. Furthermore, his expertise in hardware design for medical devices, particularly in integrating multiple functions such as fluid control, temperature management, and signal detection into compact systems, provides an ideal foundation for advising on the technical aspects of our project.</p>
<p>Xu's familiarity with both the research and industrialization of biomedical technologies means that he understands not only the theoretical underpinnings but also the practical challenges of bringing a product to market. This dual perspective is invaluable for us as we aim to develop a system that is not only scientifically sound but also feasible for real-world applications. His proven ability to automate and miniaturize complex biochemical processes through engineering innovations suggests that he can offer practical advice on how to make our delivery mechanisms for muscone more efficient, reliable, and user-friendly.</p>
<p>Given his background in microfluidic technologies, Xu is likely to have deep insights into optimizing the design of our atomizer and hydrogel-based delivery systems, helping us to fine-tune the fluid mechanics and ensure that the muscone is dispensed at the correct concentration and rate. Additionally, his patent portfolio demonstrates a track record of solving complex technical problems through innovation, making him an ideal collaborator to help overcome any potential obstacles in our project.</p>
