Шаблон:Short description

Шаблон:Infobox academic Christoph Merten is a German bio-engineer and entrepreneur; currently professor at EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne). He is an adjunct scientist at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research in Lausanne.[1] His research focuses on developing biomedical microfluidics technologies for drug discovery, diagnostics, and personalized therapy in cancer research.

Career

In 2005, he started a second postdoctoral appointment at the Institut de science et d'ingénierie supramoléculaires (ISIS) in Strasbourg, France.[2] He focused on droplet-based microfluidics for cellular assays and started his research group in 2007. From 2010 to 2019, he served as a group leader at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg, where he established high-throughput droplet-based microfluidic screening platforms.[3]

In 2019, he was named associate professor of bioengineering at EPFL[4] and currently leads the laboratory for biomedical microfluidics (LBMM) within the School of Engineering.[5] He also holds an adjunct scientist position at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research's Lausanne branch.[6]

Research

His laboratory currently uses droplet-based approaches to address questions related to personalized medicine, biological screening assays, and genomics.[7] In the context of cancer therapy, this work has allowed cost-efficient screening of numerous drug combinations on tumor samples issued from patient biopsies, enabling rapid determination of personalized treatment regimens for cancer patients.[8]
