Douer Zhu commenced her Master degree in February 2022 and will be working under the supervision of Professor Nicolas Voelcker and Dr Tommy Tong. Her research will be focused on organ-on-a-chip related work. Douer gained her bachelor degree of Pharmaceutical Science at Tianjin Medical University in China. She hopes to continue her further study.
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 and others.
