Biography
Dr. Delamarche is currently leading activities on Precision Diagnostics at IBM Research - Zurich with the goal of developing expertise in microtechnology, surface chemistry and biochemistry for solving important problems in biology and medicine. His current projects deal with investigating intercellular pathways relevant to neurodegenerative diseases, developing new techniques for tissue section analysis, and microfluidics for point-of-care testing diagnostics. This involves the fast and sensitive detection of multiple markers for various diseases, the advanced staining of tissue sections for pathology, and cell-to-cell interactions within the context of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. His expertise covers self-assembly, soft lithography, miniaturized biological assays based on microfluidics, and nanotechnology in general.
Research Interest
Dr. Delamarche sometimes acts as a research expert for IBM-internal task forces, consulting engagements, and frequently as an expert for major governmental research programs. He is also a Lecturer at ETH Zurich in the Department of Health Science and Technologies.
