Fraunhofer EMFT

Fraunhofer Research Institution for Microsystems and Solid State Technologies Division Cell-Based Sensors (CBS) CBS makes use of microelectronic/microoptiocal systems to measure the response of living cells to various xenobiotics.

Measuring Biological Impacts of Nanomaterials

This volume of BAR is dedicated to state-of-the-art analytical techqniues to quantify the biological impact of nanomaterials.

Label-Free Monitoring of Cells in vitro

The new BAR volume summarizes the most recent approaches in label-free monitoring of cells in vitro. The book has been dedicated to Nobel Laureate Ivar Giaever on the occasion of his 90th birthday.

UR is the only university in Bavaria to offer a BSc/MSc study program in Business Chemistry. For more information, click HERE.

The Fraunhofer division Cell-Based Sensors, affiliated with the Institute for Analytical Chemistry, is part of the newly granted Collaborative Research Center TR305. In cooperation with Fraunhofer IME and ITEM, the group will develop new assay formats and readouts for targeting metastatic progression.

The Fraunhofer division Cell-Based Sensors in cooperation with the lab of Prof. Ralf Wagner (UR) is currently developing a new readout technology to monitor virus neutralization assays for SARS-CoV2. The latter are used to evaluate the effectiveness of vaccines. The project is funded by the Fraunhofer Society and combines biological amplification strategies with microelectronics.
