University-Wide Inaugural Lecture on June 18: Introducing Prof. Larysa Baraban

On June 18, 2026, Prof. Dr. Larysa Baraban, Professor of Medical Nanotechnology at the Carl Gustav Carus Faculty of Medicine, will deliver her university-wide inaugural lecture on the topic of “Tiny Technologies for Big Medical Challenges.” Prof. Baraban commenced her appointment at TUD Dresden University of Technology in May 2024. Her Chair was established jointly by the Else Kröner Fresenius Center (EKFZ) for Digital Health and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR).

Nanomaterials for clinical applications

Tiny sensors can detect complications at an earlier stage, enable more precise real-time therapy monitoring. They support more personalized treatment approaches for patients. Together with her team, the physicist develops nanoelectronics for personalized cancer immunotherapies as well as innovative, cost-efficient tools for point-of-care and clinical diagnostics. The focus is on biosensors capable of capturing biological processes with high precision and analyzing multiple biomarkers simultaneously in real time. These technologies open up innovative possibilities for cancer diagnostics and continuous therapy monitoring. These technologies create new possibilities for cancer diagnostics and continuous therapy monitoring. In addition to developing nanosystems, the team also investigates their bio-compatibility, long-term stability, and the sustainability of new materials. These portable microfluidic biosensor systems could potentially contribute to monitoring patients more closely following surgery.

The lecture and subsequent discussion will be held in English. A get-together afterwards will provide an opportunity to meet and network.
