Prof. Destgeer's research group at TUM and TranslaTUM combines flow lithography, advanced 3D printing, and acousto-microfluidics to manufacture structured (bio)materials and to build diagnostic platforms that operate without specialized instrumentation. He will present three complementary platforms developed with his team: Lab on a Chip (CellTrap) for high-throughput single immune–cancer cell interaction studies; Lab on a Particle, where amphiphilic shape-coded microparticles template picoliter-to-nanoliter droplets for multiplexed amplified immunoassays; and Lab on a Capillary, an oil-free hydrogel-array system for instrument-free biomarker detection. Together, these technologies aim to democratize advanced diagnostics and to enable emerging applications in immuno-engineering and pharmaceutical research.
