Professor, Microsystems Technology, Uppsala University
Membership period 2014–2019
I am currently leading three research projects based on my expertise in micro- and nanofabrication combined with my experience in integrated sensors and microfluidics. The aim is to develop new methods for high-throughput screening needed in e.g. single cell analysis and drug screening. I am also interested in investigating the possibilities of nanotechnology and nanofabrication within the life sciences for the development of artificial models of human biological barriers. These in vitro models can be used for fundamental biological research as well as screening platforms in industry.
I was the Young Academy of Swedens's Chair 2018–2019.
