SearchMeike Moschallski finishes up her PhD thesis
Meike Moschallski successfully defended her PhD thesis on May 16. As the head of her commitee, Prof. Zappe, pointed out Meike is "true IMTEK grown" engineer as she got both her diploma and now her doctorate degree from the Department of Microsystems Engineering.
Her thesis dealt with the development of protein chips based on a "skyscraper approach" in which the sensing antibodies are immobilized within a little tower of a surface-attached hydrogel. Meike showed that the concept is a valuable approach towards robust surface-bound immunoassays with an increased sensitivity as compared to strictly two-dimensional chip architectures.
Here are some pics from her defense and more so from her celebrating with "friends and family":
