Our group is intended to research micro- and nanostructured mechanical, chemical and biochemical sensors, microfluidic sample preparation systems and optoelectronic devices (IR-LED) for medical and environmental safety applications. This activity covers the development of laboratory and industrial level processing technologies, optical and electro-mechanical integration and functional validation of these devices.

  1. Lab-on-a-Chip (LoC): Autonomous microfluidic systems are to be designed for PoC diagnostics and cell analytical platforms. Industry compatible polymer technology and adequate microstructured masters are to be developed for manufacturing microfluidic systems. (77E) The hydrodynamic processes affecting cell manipulation, chemical and biochemical reactions are to be characterised in microfluidic, nanofluidic and digital microfluidic systems. (TKP2021-EGA-04 INBIOM)
  2. Organ-on-Chip (OoC): Microfluidic systems are to be developed for continuous (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy based) monitoring physiological behaviour of cell populations in controlled chemical environment. Point-of-Care optical screening methods are to be developed and characterised for detection chemotherapeutic and other drug molecules to support personal medicines. Feasibility of the proposed microfluidic sample preparation method is to be demonstrated for therapeutic drug monitoring in animal models and OoC applications. (MSCA POC-TDM & CHIPS UNLOOC)
  3. MEMS, BioMEMS: Our specific MEMS force sensors are to be integrated in compact measurement systems and laparoscopic devices applicable for pathologic tissue mechanical analysis. The significance of artificial intelligence supported biomechanical tissue analysis is to be proved in surgical practice. (Uzsoki Hospital)
  4. Optical (Raman, near infrared and fluorescent) spectroscopy: Integrable optical detection methods are to be developed for (drug) molecule detection. (TKP2021-EGA-04 INBIOM, CHIPS UNLOOC)
  5. Solid state and optical gas detectors: High sensitive, microscale catalytic gas sensors utilising temperature stabilised microheaters and nanostructured sensing layer and non-dispersive (NDIR) optical gas detectors are to be developed. The applicability of the developed microheaters and infrared LED devices as wide spectra infrared sources are to be evaluated. (TKP2021-NVA-03, CHIPS UNLOOC)
