Our research

The group „Micro- and Nano-Biosystems“ aims at designing and developing microtools that interface biological samples at the cellular and molecular levels, for both fundamental studies and healthcare applications, in particular in the field of assisted reproduction and targeted drug delivery. Such microtools range from medical microrobots to smart sensor-actuator systems, made employing cutting-edge microfabrication technologies and functional nanomaterials.

The group "Micro- and Nano-Biosystems" is a DRESDEN-concept Research Group.

DRESDEN-concept (DDc) aims to further increase the attractiveness of Dresden as a science location for excellent independent early-career scientists. The close cooperation between the DDc partner institutions and the manifold synergies within the research alliance offer young researchers an excellent environment and open up attractive career paths.

In the DRESDEN-concept Research Groups, outstanding young scientists are offered an optimal framework for establishing their own working group. The research groups address innovative research topics and can draw on the expertise of two or more DDc partner institutions, which jointly support the DDc Research Group.
