Here, we used two-photon lithography (TPL) in combination with polymerization-induced phase separation to 3D-print complex microstructures with a well-defined nanoporous architecture featuring pores of 420 nm. These structures can be impregnated with functional liquids via

This week´s photo of our amazing research group after Max’s farewell party. Wishing Max all the best in his future endeavors! 💪. One of the greatest advantages of working in academia is that you are constantly surrounded by smart, talented and eternally young people. However,

An interesting unpublished video from the lab showing how a square mL droplet forms when water is placed on a surface patterned with a grid of superhydrophobic (SH) lines and superhydrophilic (SL) spots. The SH lines are approximately 100 µm thick, while the SL squares are about

The video below shows parallel transfer of HEK293 cell spheroids from one droplet microarray to another one by sandwiching.

Ever wondered how to perform tens of thousands of nanoliter droplet manipulations in a truly parallel fashion? Here we show a method that enables parallel medium exchange in thousands of nanoliter-scale cell cultures, facilitates the extraction of nanoliter-sized aliquots

Congratulations to @BraseStefan Verena Weinhardt and Christian Koos! 💪.

Functional Surfaces and Micropatterns: from Superhydrophobicity to Drug Discovery. Lecture at the Wiley´s Advanced Summit in 2024. Many thanks to the entire Wiley team and all the editors of Advanced journals for organizing this wonderful symposium.🤓

eDMA: an array of 200 nL droplets, each positioned on three tiny microelectrodes, enabling real-time, label-free impedance-based monitoring of drug responses in just a few hundred cancer cells.

Using this new method, CART (Carrier-based Actuatable and Reprogrammable Transport), it is possible to transport tiny droplets, gas bubbles, or even small solid samples on surfaces using tiny magnetic "boats". Check this out: @KITKarlsruhe @Cluster3DMM2O

Welcome to our new group member! Not very social but very hard working. #phdlife #WorkLifeBalance #teamwork #phdchat

Today found it in the office instead of a PhD student

My friends are organizing a very interesting Nanomedicine School in Italy. The Nanomedicine School is dedicated to Master students, PhD students, early stage researchers, and whoever is interested in an introduction to this rather new field of research.

Enhancing the temperature responsiveness of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) by incorporating hierarchical porosity: nm-sized pores through polymerization-induced phase separation, while mm pores using 3D printing 😍. @Cluster3DMM2O @KITKarlsruhe

Our research group celebrated the beginning of summer by participating in the traditional Dragonboat race in Heidelberg as the “Biofunctional Dragons”😂 We placed 13th out of 25 teams! Thanks to all group members for making it a great event!

Great time at Lund University attending the Future Biomaterials: Data-Driven Insight to Cell-Biomaterial Interaction

Future Biomaterials: Data-Driven Insight to Cell-Biomaterial Interaction - open lectures. 9 Lectures at Lund University.

Badische Meile 8.88 km, 48’50’. The whole race I was trying to catch up with a guy with a stroller :)
