Rachel Sava received ETH medal for her Master thesis
Rachel Sava, who did her Master thesis in our group, received ETH medal for her thesis and Willi Studer prize as one of the best students in the Master curriculum Biotechnology at D-BSSE.
Multifunctional CMOS chip in open microfluidic system
Novel multifunctional CMOS microelectrode array has been integrated into an open microfluidic system. The array can be used in hanging-drop mode for in situ microtissue readouts and in standing-drop mode like a conventional microelectrode array.
Direct printing of 3D electrodes on CMOS arrays
Method for fabricating tissue-penetrating 3D microelectrodes directly on our planar microelectrode array chips by using high-resolution 3D printing and 2-photon polymerization developed by collaborators in Stanford.
