Welcome to the BIOS / Lab on a chip group

The BIOS Lab-on-a-Chip chair (“Miniaturized systems for biomedical and environmental applications”) aims at the research and development of Lab-on-a-Chip (LOC) systems.

It is our mission to:

· Further the knowledge and understanding of nanofluidics and nanosensing

· Bridge gap between users from physical, chemical, biomedical and life-science fields

· Develop new micro- and nano-technologies for Lab on a Chip systems

· Demonstrate the potential of LOC applications
