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.
Feel free to contact us regarding open positions, collaboration, and beyond.

Customizable manufacturing of ex vivo cell engineering is driven by the need for innovations in the biomedical field and holds substantial potential for addressing current therapeutic challenges; but […]
- 3D Polymeric Lattice Microstructure-Based Microneedle Array for Transdermal Electrochemical Biosensingby Muamer Dervisevic on October 12, 2024 at 10:00 am
Microneedles (MNs) or microneedle arrays (MNAs) are critical components of minimally invasive devices comprised of a single or a series of micro-scale projections. MNs can bypass the outermost layer […]
- Beyond Glucose Monitoring: Multianalyte Sensor Use in Diabetesby Kathy Zhou on July 25, 2024 at 10:00 am
The incidence, prevalence, mortality, and health expenditure associated with diabetes continue to grow, despite efforts. The use of multianalyte sensors, which detect glucose as well as key analytes […]
- Study of the Structure of Hyperbranched Polyglycerol Coatings and Their Antibiofouling and Antithrombotic Applicationsby Eli Moore on June 26, 2024 at 10:00 am
While blood-contacting materials are widely deployed in medicine in vascular stents, catheters, and cannulas, devices fail in situ because of thrombosis and restenosis. Furthermore, microbial […]
