11. From Macro to Nano : Electrokinetic Transport and Surface Control
Sammanfattning : Today, the growing and aging population, and the rise of new global threats on human health puts an increasing demand on the healthcare system and calls for preventive actions. To make existing medical treatments more efficient and widely accessible and to prevent the emergence of new threats such as drug-resistant bacteria, improved diagnostic technologies are needed.

12. Monitoring of Cellular Dynamics with Focus on Electrochemical Detection Techniques
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents work in two main areas of focus, the development of electroanalytical techniques to monitor the dynamics of cellular processes as well as design and fabrication of microelectrode chips for electrochemical detection as well as a prototype microfluidic system to be used for cell analysis and culturing. The electrochemically monitored cellular parameters were the cellular redox environment (CRE), cell adhesion and exocytosis. LÄS MER
13. Functional Fibers for Biomedical and Thermal Management Applications
Sammanfattning : This thesis explores the integration of electrospun polymeric structures in two fields; fibrous scaffolds as cell culture substrates for biomedical applications and fiber carrier networks in metal matrix polymer composites as thermal interface materials in microsystems. Electrospinning has been found to carry great potential for a range of future biomedical engineering applications. LÄS MER
14. Microfluidic bead-based methods for DNA analysis
Sammanfattning : With the completion of the human genome sequencing project, attention is currently shifting toward understanding how genetic variation, such as single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), leads to disease. To identify, understand, and control biological mechanisms of living organisms, the enormous amounts of accumulated sequence information must be coupled to faster, cheaper, and more powerful technologies for DNA, RNA, and protein analysis.

15. Development and Applications of Microfluidic Devices for Liver-on-a-Chip Studies
Sammanfattning : Modeling the human physiology in vitro is a challenging task, yet one of importance for the development of drugs and the study of diseases. To better address the complexities of human organs, microfluidic systems called organs-on-chips are being developed to emulate organ-specific environments for cell culture. LÄS MER
