Medical Devices

The Medical Devices group is dedicated to translational medical research in close collaboration with hospitals. We focus on the development of tools and solutions based on microfluidics, biosensors and nanotechnology towards early diagnosis and better understanding of diseases.

Research lines:

  • Non-invasive disease monitoring (biomicrofluidic systems to isolate disease biomarkers from body fluids)
  • Early and accurate disease diagnosis (nanobiosensors to study and evaluate disease biomarkers)
  • Disease modelling (biomimetic 3D organ-on-a-chip systems to model processes in disease evolution and treatment)
  • Medical instrumentation technology development
