Microbial life in porous systems dominates the functioning of numerous ecosystems, ranging from stream sediments to soils. While these environments are characterized by structures that vary spatially over orders of magnitude, the traditional research focus ...
Fast and label-free techniques to analyze viruses and bacteria are of crucial interest in biological and bio-medical applications. For this purpose, optofluidic systems based on the integration of photonic structures with microfluidic layers were shown to ...
During the last decade, the development of optofluidic chips has become a large field of research. The integration of nano and microstructures with microfluidics layers allowed for the miniaturisation of a number of tools traditionally used in laboratories ...
The atomic force microscope has become an established research tool for imaging microorganisms with unprecedented resolution. However, its use in microbiology has been limited by the difficulty of proper bacterial immobilization. Here, we have developed a ...
The atomic force microscope (AFM) allows the analysis of living microorganisms in physiological conditions on the nanometer scale. The observation of bacteria in physiological aqueous medium necessitates a robust immobilization of the bacterium to the surf ...
Mitochondrial respiration is a key signature for the assessment of mitochondrial functioning and mitochondrial dysfunction is related to many diseases including metabolic syndrome and aging-associated conditions. Here, we present a microfluidic Caenorhabdi ...
Numerous analytical techniques for life sciences have been at the basis of the improvement of medical diagnostics and treatments. Current challenges in bioanalytics are related to the conception of methods enabling large amount of information to be extract ...
Create a 3D micromodel (with microfluidics technique) as a representation of complex porous media (mimic groundwater environment); Experimental and numerical study of transport phenomenon in porous media ...
Chlorinated ethenes, frequently encountered contaminants in groundwater, are often found to be incompletely dechlorinated to dichloroethene and vinyl chloride, more toxic products that accumulate in the aquifer. Some of the concerns in designing remediatio ...
Originally invented for topographic imaging, atomic force microscopy (AFM) has evolved into a multifunctional biological toolkit, enabling to measure structural and functional details of cells and molecules. Its versatility and the large scope of informati ...
