Micro- and biosystems engineering

Targeted applications are the miniaturization of functional elements in biosystems and medical devices. Examples include the fabrication of 3D structures of sub-millimeter dimensions and for their application in biosensor and cell structure technology. Furthermore they include the development of all related measurement and control devices as well as the software integration.
