Reza Zandi Shafagh

Reza is a researcher at the department of Micro and Nanosystems, School of Electrical Engineering, KTH. He holds Ph.D degree in Micro and Nanosystems and his area of research includes fabrication of nanosturcutures and their implementation for Point-of-Care (PoC) diagnostics and biomedical purposes. He is also a researcher at karolinska institutet (KI) and the head of Micro and Nanofabrication core facility (MCF). In close collaboration between KI and KTH, his current research theme focuses on the fabrication and characterization of organ-on-a-chip devices for drug development purposes. 

He was previously involved in three European IMI and EU FP7 projects , "RAPP-ID" and "Norosensor" and "POSITIVE":

• Within the framework of the RAPP-ID project, the research included technologies for rapid and ultrasensitive detection of Influenza virus directly from human breath.
• Within the framework of the Norosensor project, the research included technologies for the rapid and ultrasensitive detection of Norovirus in ambient air.
• POSITIVE project aimed at the diagnosis of food allergies via porous silicon-based lab-on-a-chip devices.
