Our collaborator Vania Silverio, an expert in microfluidics, recently delivered a lecture on the “Fundamentals of Microfabrication with a focus on fabrication of microfluidics” at the Microfluidics, Biosensors and Microphysiological Systems Summer School held at ODTÜ MEMS Merkezi from September 16-19.

Her presentation focused on the essential techniques for micro/nanofabricating microfluidic devices, crucial for applications in medical diagnostics or environmental monitoring, as examples. The summer school brought together researchers and students to discuss advancements in Microfluidics, Biosensors and MPS technologies and foster collaboration within the field. The event included a visit to the cleanroom at ODTÜ MEMS Merkezi, providing participants a firsthand look at cutting-edge fabrication techniques. Silverio’s involvement underscored the critical role of education in advancing innovation in microfluidics, motivating attendees with her insights and expertise. The event provided a vibrant platform for knowledge exchange and networking among researchers.
