RESEARCH PROFILE
Burcu is a tenure-track assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at 果冻传媒. She strives to develop, fabricate, and apply biomaterials to realize high-precision processing in high-throughput microfluidic settings. She specifically focuses on designing and developing digital microfluidic devices for studying cell-biomaterial interactions.
We are driven by the goals of creating knowledge unlocked from nature and then inventing solutions to address pressing questions about human health.
ACADEMIC BACKGROUND
Burcu Gumuscu worked as a senior researcher in Mesoscale Chemical Systems Research Group at the University of Twente, where she performed independent research on nano-fabricated arrays for biomolecule analysis. In 2017 and 2018, she was a postdoctoral fellow in the Bioengineering Department at the University of California, Berkeley, where she developed microfluidic biosensors for single-cell analysis. She received her Ph.D. degree in Bioengineering from the BIOS Lab-on-a-chip group at the University of Twente. Her Ph.D. thesis primarily aimed at the design and development of microfluidic devices for next-generation sequencing, organ鈥恛n-chip, and water desalination on the microscale. She is the recipient of the Pieter Langerhuizen grant given in 2019 by The Royal Holland Society of Sciences (KHMW).
