About Me
A chemist by training, I strive to understand, and eventually control, molecular interactions between surfaces, (bio)molecules and their surrounding medium. My research in the past decade has focused on developing (bio-)chemical strategies to enable analytical assays using biomolecules on surfaces, specifically, inside microfluidic chips. I was involved in the development of
- synthesis and characterization of androgen competitors binding to androgen receptor
- goldnanoparticle sandwich immuno assays detection via spectral imaging - fabrication of orientationally controlled protein patterns and their photophysical characterisation
- on-chip immunophenotyping in resource poor settings
- fabrication of chips via inkjetprinting and characterisation via fluorescence imaging
- surface engineering for epigenetics-based non-invasive early cancer diagnostics on chip
I am currently holding a part-time post-doctoral research position at the Faculty of TNW at AST and MnF groups, working on developing an organoid-on-a-chip device.
Since 2020, I am working part-time at LipoCoat BV, Enschede, The Netherlands, as Senior Researcher working on coating technology for medical devices.
