CellStudio Platform: Advancing Spatially-Resolved Analysis of Cell Secretion

Lourdes Basabe studied chemistry at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid until 2002. Then, she moved to the University of Twente in The Netherlands, where she completed her PhD in 2006 under the supervision of Dr. Crego Calama and Prof. David Reinhoudt at the Supramolecular Chemistry Group within the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology. In 2006 she joined the Biomedical Diagnostics Institute in Dublin, Ireland, where in 2009 she became Team Leader in Microfluidics for Platelet Biology. In 2012, she was awarded an Ikerbasque Research Professorship and she moved to CICmicroGUNE in the Basque Country, Spain. In 2014, Lourdes joined the BIOMICS research group at the University of the Basque Country, led by Prof. Martinez de Pancorbo, where she established her own independent research team: BIOMICS-microfluidics, focused on the development of lab-on-a-chip technologies. In June 2015 she co-founded the Microfluidics Cluster UPV/EHU with Dr. Fernando Benito-Lopez´s group. And in 2019 she promoted the creation of the Microfluidics and Biomics (M&B) Cluster UPV/EHU, Lourdes Basabe is the director of the M&B Cluster UPV/EHU which is finacially supported by the Basque Government.
Lourdes has a multidisciplinary scientific background marked by a high international mobility. In 2010 Lourdes she was awarded with the UK and Ireland L'Oreal UNESCO for Women in Science Fellowship. The research of Lourdes Basabe-Desmonts is published in peer reviewed publications at high impact international journals (ACS Nano, JACS, Advanced Materials, Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Lab on a Chip, Langmuir, Chemical Society Reviews, etc). She is also inventor of several patents.
