My research involves the development of advanced lab-on-a-chip systems for biomedical applications. The interdisciplinary nature of my research brings together (bio)sensor technology, biology, chemistry and microfluidics to develop (bio)assays and lab-on-a-chip systems for the multilevel sensing of tissue structures in vitro. The ultimate aim of my research is to understand dynamic interactions in complex biological systems, such as cell assemblies, organoids and cell barriers. As such, an important aspect of my research is the manufacturability of microdevices using industrial-relevant materials and processes, as well as the heterogeneous integration of micro- and nanosensors, miniaturized fluid handling systems and actuators to establish the higher level system architectures needed for automated organ-on-a-chip systems.
