DTU Nanotech - The Department of Micro and Nanotechnology is a research institute for micro- and nanotechnology at the Technical University of Denmark in Kongens Lyngby, Denmark. DTU Nanotech represents a cross-disciplinary research environment where micro and nanotechnology are applied to a wide range of scientific disciplines, e.g. mechanics, optics, chemistry, medical technologies, and biotechnology. DTU Nanotech has access to a state-of-the-art cleanroom, chemical laboratories, biochemical laboratories, and optical laboratories. The fast majority of our scientific projects are conducted in collaboration with Danish industry. DTU Nanotech offers a comprehensive course plan with theoretical and experimental courses that allows students with various scientific backgrounds to learn about the different facets of micro and nanotechnology. In the past decade MIC has generated 10 start-up and spin-off companies.
Professor Dr. Jörg P. Kutter is the Coordinator of NeuroTAS. He received his B.S in chemistry in 1991, and his Ph. D. in analytical chemistry in 1995, both from the University of Ulm, Germany. Both theses focused on chromatographic and electrophoretic separation techniques. After graduation, he was a postdoctoral research fellow in the Laser Spectroscopy and Microinstrumentation Group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (Oak Ridge, TN, USA) developing microchip-based analytical tools. In June 1998 he joined the Bio/Chemical Microsystems Group at the Institute of Micro and Nanotechnology (DTU Nanotech) of the Technical University of Denmark in Lyngby, Denmark. He is project leader of the internal micro-TAS projectfocusing on the development of microfluidic devices for application in biomedical fields.
DTU Nanotech will be involved as the main coordinator, sharing some coordination activities with Curie Institute, taking care of the contractual and financial coordination. In addition to that DTU Nanotech is responsible for workpackages related to the development of integrated detection strategies and the building of higher integrated prototypes for testing at later stages of the project. DTU Nanotech will also be involved in validation.
