IVAM Microtechnology Network
Biology meets microelectronics´ – a phrase often quoted in recent times, and one which underlines the increasing importance of inter- and transdisciplinary research activities. Basic scientific disciplines such as physics, electrical engineering, chemistry, biology and materials science are increasingly seen to overlap common boundaries, so defining the interface of an exciting research environment with a high potential for innovation. In this context, the INB (Institute of Nano- and Biotechnologies) at the Aachen University of Applied Sciences aims to combine synergistically its existing expertise in the fields of semiconductor technologies, nanoelectronics, silicon-based chemical sensors and biosensors along with mammalian cell culture technology, applied immunology, enzyme technology, industrial microbiology and biocatalysis. Eight laboratories will focus their research activities on the pioneering spectrum of nano- and biotechnologies, a broad contemporary research area, fostering new ideas and the design of new products which may change our daily life. As our partner you benefit from our well-integrated multidisciplinary team as your competent partner as well as from our wide range of methods and proven expertise in research in more than 40 cooperation’s with national and international universities, research centers and industrial partners.
