Andreas Hierlemann
Andreas Hierlemann is currently Professor at the Dept. of Biosystems, Science and Engineering (BSSE)
Professor Hierlemann and his team's research is rooted in Physics and in the Engineering disciplines and is targeted at developing microtechnological and microelectronics-based tools and methods (e.g., Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor, CMOS technology) to address issues and problems in Biology and Systems Biology. The focus is currently on three areas: Bioelectronics, integrated bio- and chemosensor microsystems, and microtechnology for cell handling and analysis.
