Medical devices - MeDiTech

Research area

Medical Devices

Develops medical devices and systems with different integrative steps ranging from nanotechnology (nanomaterials, biointerfaces), microtechnology (microfluidics, photonics and sensor technology) to microdevices. This enables highly integrated systems for advanced therapies, diagnostics and support for precision medicine.
