Biography
E. Verpoorte has more than 20 years of research experience in the lab-on-a-chip field, and has been head of the Pharmaceutical Analysis Group in the Department of Pharmacy at the University of Groningen since 2003. Her present research has taken on a strong cell biological / pharmacological focus, and includes innovative joint projects with colleagues in pharmacokinetics and medical biology on integrated cell and tissue culture and analysis. Ongoing projects involve the development of advanced tools for cell analysis in conjunction with drug screening (chip-based human endothelial cell culture and analysis; development of an intestine–liver chip for ADME-Tox screening). Efforts have also focused on new particle separation strategies exploiting a unique recirculating flow pattern accessible only at the micrometer scale, as well as new approaches for two-phase flow control and continuous glucose monitoring. Verpoorte has published papers in top analytical chemistry journals. She is or has been involved in several international conference organizations and journal editorial boards.
