About
Dr. Hana Michalkova is a pioneering researcher in the field of biomedical micro- and nanorobotics, with a specific focus on developing biodegradable and biocompatible micromotors for therapeutic applications. Her most notable contribution is the design and demonstration of "Swarming Aqua Sperm Micromotors," a groundbreaking study published in 2021 that has already garnered 53 citations. This work addresses a critical challenge in the field: the toxicity and non-biodegradability of traditional inorganic microswimmers. By engineering sperm-inspired micromotors that can swarm and operate in confined spaces, Michalkova has opened new avenues for active bacterial biofilm removal without relying on harmful fuels or materials. Her research bridges materials science, bioengineering, and microbiology, offering a safer, more sustainable approach to microscale robotics for in vivo use. Beyond this landmark paper, Michalkova’s work continues to push the boundaries of how tiny, self-propelled devices can be harnessed for targeted drug delivery and infection control, making her a rising leader in the quest for clinically viable micromotors.
