Biography
Andreas Manz is one of the pioneers in microchip technology used for chemical applications. The results are summarized in the following table. These analyzers are based on the microfabrication know-how originally developed for microelectronics. Ciba-Geigy Ltd. is a global leader in the development in Basel, Switzerland, then at Imperial College, London, United Kingdom, and finally, at ISAS - the Institute for Analytical Sciences, Dortmund, Germany. (Μ-TAS), which involves the use of a microsystem, with a chemical parameter (for example, the concentration of a compound) that is periodic transform into an electronic or an optical signal. Search a system is in fact a hybrid which offers the advantages of a sophisticated analysis system within the size of a chemical sensor. He published over 220 papers in scientific journals, which are cited over 11,000 times. In addition, he is inventor in 39 patents. He was the founding member and chairman of the editorial board of the journal "Lab on a Chip" published by the Royal Society of Chemistry in the United Kingdom. He was a member of the board of the international conference "micro TAS". So what is involved in several start-up companies, like Caliper, Case, Sensory Design & Technology, Predicant Biosciences, SpinX, Ambrigen and Genetic Microdevices
Research Interest
His current research focuses on the Microfluidics and stem cell research
