Prof. Dr. Ulrich Krühne is Professor of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark. His main focus is the development and investigation of microfluidic systems for medical, chemical, biochemical and pharmaceutical applications. He has worked for many years in the field of microfluidic research and development for life science applications, e.g. in the development of diagnostic devices, in vitro fertilization and in the field of cancer research.
"We are pleased to welcome Prof. Schulz, a medical doctor with great affinity for technical solutions to support care and treatment. Geriatric medicine in particular can benefit massively from the use of microtechnological high-tech solutions. The practical perspective is of great value for the development of sustainable innovations. We are also very pleased to have Prof. Krühne, a proven international microfluidics expert, on board. His expertise will help us and our members in the future to jointly drive the myriad of innovations emerging from the field of microfluidics even further," explains Dr. Thomas Dietrich, Managing Director of IVAM.
