Dr. Thomas Brandstetter

Dr. Thomas BrandstetterDr. Thomas Brandstetter studied Biology at the University of Freiburg. He received his Ph.D. in 2000 working with Prof. Dr. Wagner at the Institute for Biology II and Prof. Dr. Wieland at the University hospital, Department for Clinical chemistry (oncology). Subse-quently he moved on to a position as a postdoctoral associate working on microarray applications for clinical and diagnostic purposes in cooperation with the company “Genescan Europe AG”, a biochip company. After becoming safety officer for medical devices he entered the group of Prof. Dr. Rühe at the Department for Microsystems Engineering (IMTEK), at the University of Freiburg in 2005. Since 2007 he is group leader for Biochip technologies and bioanalytical surfaces.

Research interests:
  • Developing new detection methods for SNP and genexpression analysis
  • Direct labeling of RNA and DNA
  • On chip real time measurment
  • Developing new surfaces for increased sensitivity and stability
  • Reusable and standarized biochips
