BIOENGINEERING SEMINAR
Abstract:
Our research centres on the study of microfluidic lab-on-a-chip devices applied to environmental analysis, biomedical research and the synthesis of smart materials. Microfluidic devices offer the possibility for in-the-field and point-of-care analysis provided the devices are portable, require only minimal external instrumentation and little power and are robust. We have developed a range of analytical systems for detection of pathogen infection that can be applied in resource limited settings. Furthermore, we are developing workflows for chemical analysis in the field that are sufficiently simple to be carried out by members of the general public.
Bio:
Prof. Nicole Pamme holds a chair in Analytical Chemistry at Stockholm University (Sweden). She obtained a Diploma in Chemistry from the University of Marburg (Germany) in 1999. For her PhD studies she went to Imperial College London (UK) where she joined the group of Prof. Andreas Manz. It was here that she first started working with microfluidic devices, more specifically, on single particle analysis inside microfluidic channels. In 2004, she moved to Tsukuba (Japan) as an independent research fellow in the International Centre for Young Scientists (ICYS) based at the Japanese National Institute for Materials Science. She was appointed as a lecturer in Hull in December 2005 and moved up to Professor by 2014. In 2021, she moved to Stockholm. Prof. Pamme has served on the Board of Directors of the Chemical and Biological Microsystems Society (CBMS) including as President (2019-21). She is an Associate Editor for the Analyst (RSC Publishing) and serves on the editorial advisory boards of Lab on a Chip (RSC Publishing), Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry (Springer) and Analytica Chimica Acta (Elsevier). She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC) and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).
