ABOUT THE GROUP
Our research group is located at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and affiliated with the University of Heidelberg. Our research is focused on the synthesis and application of biofunctional materials, surfaces and nanoparticles.

Recently we discovered that bacteria grown on micropatterns of repellent and adhesive properties (SLIPS+adhesive) form biofilm bridges, thin biofilm strings, connecting separated biofilm clusters. It is interesting that bacteria form networks of such biofilm bridges and these bridges are packed with highly metabolically active bacteria. Here is our paper in Advanced Science about this novel phenomenon. Congratulations to Wenxi Lei and coauthors. Great collaboration with Thomas Schwartz´s group at KIT.

Check this very interesting poster of our collaborators at GlaxoSmithKline who used #Aquarray Droplet Microarrays (DMA) for extremely miniaturized high-content cellular screenings. Very nice comparison of microtiter plates with culture in 100 nL droplets on DMAs. Let us know if you want to try such Droplet Microarrays for your cell screening experiments.
