My research focuses on the development and application of micro- and nanofluidic technologies for biomedical and health-related applications. I work at the interface of microfluidics, nanobiotechnology, and biomedical engineering, with the aim of enabling improved diagnostics, therapeutic strategies, and disease understanding.

A central theme of my work is the microfluidic manipulation and separation of biological particles and systems, including cells, pathogens, extracellular vesicles, and nanoparticles. I am particularly interested in inertial and elasto-inertial microfluidics as label-free and scalable approaches for sample preparation and enrichment in diagnostic and nanomedicine workflows.

My research spans both advanced clinical contexts and resource-limited settings. I currently coordinate the EU–Africa project HOLICARE, which focuses on the development and evaluation of point-of-care diagnostic technologies for respiratory and infectious diseases, in close collaboration with clinical and public health partners. In parallel, I am involved in cancer diagnostics and therapy through fiber-based and microfluidic technologies, and in the development of organ-on-chip and microphysiological models to study the tumor microenvironment and its relevance for diagnostics.

Overall, my work emphasizes translation-oriented research, combining microfluidic design, system integration, and biomedical relevance to bridge fundamental engineering research and real-world health applications.
