Research focus areas:

DNA and protein microarray technology: Function of biomolecules on surfaces, immobilisation of DNA and proteins to surfaces, genotyping, antibody assays, detection technologies and clinical performance of my invention gradient processing of DNA microarrays.

Cell culture on chip: design of large combinatory assay system for high throughput cell analysis, biocompatibility issues of perfusion and programming of cells by multiple fluidic streams

Microfluidics:design fluidics networks to solve limitation in molecular and cell based assays. Often I utilize arrays of fluidics streams in combination with biochemical arrays. I seek solution that can be utilized by end users and develop fluidics components to that end including good optimal quality of chips for time laps microscopy and interconnection and pumping for simplicity and robustness.

High throughput screening of biological: This is a novel acvitivity employing microfluidics droplet technology. Curretly the screening deals with antibody, phage diplay and bacterial promoter libraries.
