Application microfluidic devices to study interdisciplinary problems in fields of chemical engineering and medical diagnostics

Microfluidic devices play a key role in bridging the fields of chemical engineering and medicine, enabling interdisciplinary exploration. These miniaturized systems manipulate small fluid volumes, offering precise control for studying biological processes and drug delivery. In chemical engineering, microfluidics aid in optimizing reactions, enhancing process efficiency, and developing advanced materials. Simultaneously, in medicine, these devices facilitate intricate analyses of cells, biomolecules, and disease mechanisms. This thesis will address the integration of microfluidic devices to study the progression of chemical and biological processes in field of personalized medicine and diagnostics.

The candidate should have an interest in chemistry or biochemistry and has good relation to experimental laboratory work to perform tests with microfluidic devices, as well as with data acquisition and evaluation. To complete the delegated tasks, the personal abilities such as independence, creativity, open mind and team work skills will be required.
