Researcher in Biomedical Engineering - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Description of the workplace

Our group is well known within the field of acoustofluidics and fundamental experimental studies on ultrasonic resonances in microchannel to reveal how acoustic streaming and the acoustic radiation force can be utilised to manipulate microscale objects, cells and nanoparticles. Based on acoustofluidic principles we develop medical applications such as isolation of circulating tumorcells from cancer patient derived blood samples, or enrichment and biomarker analysis of extracellular vesicles in blood samples.
