In the Voelcker lab, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of the interactions between nanostructured materials and human cells and tissues, and their biomolecular products. To that effect, we are developing nanostructured materials and surface chemistries, with a focus on electrochemically etched meso- and macroporous materials. These systems are then optimised for applications in biosensing, drug delivery, regenerative medicine, microfluidics, and others.

- Mitochondrial segmentation and function prediction in live-cell images with deep learningby Yang Ding on January 17, 2025 at 11:00 am
Mitochondrial morphology and function are intrinsically linked, indicating the opportunity to predict functions by analyzing morphological features in live-cell imaging. Herein, we introduce MoDL, a […]
- Tailoring Design of Microneedles for Drug Delivery and Biosensingby Yuexi Lin on January 15, 2025 at 11:00 am
Microneedles (MNs) are emerging as versatile tools for both therapeutic drug delivery and diagnostic monitoring. Unlike hypodermic needles, MNs achieve these applications with minimal or no pain and […]
- Critical updates on oral insulin drug delivery systems for type 2 diabetes mellitusby Chan Yew Low on January 15, 2025 at 11:00 am
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance, leading to elevated blood sugar levels. Exogenous insulin can counteract the diminished response to […]
- Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Aptamer-Targeting Porous Silicon Nanocarrierby Ankit Malhotra on January 13, 2025 at 11:00 am
Common treatment approaches for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) are associated with severe side effects due to the unfavorable biodistribution profile of potent chemotherapeutics. Here, we […]
