About
Michael J. Vellekoop is a pioneering figure in microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip technology, with a career dedicated to advancing sensor systems for biological and chemical analysis. His research spans the design of integrated microfluidic platforms, often incorporating innovative materials and fabrication techniques to enable precise manipulation of fluids and particles. A notable contribution is his work on artificial lipid bilayer membranes, where he developed a method using Parylene-coated silicon chips to rapidly form stable bilayers for studying molecular transport—a critical tool for investigating antibiotic uptake through bacterial porins. This work, though early in citation impact (5 citations since 2018), exemplifies his focus on practical, high-throughput solutions for biomedical challenges. With over 300 publications and an h-index exceeding 40, Vellekoop’s broader impact includes pioneering impedance-based sensors for cell analysis and droplet microfluidics. His achievements have been recognized with multiple awards, including an ERC Advanced Grant, underscoring his role as a leader in merging microengineering with life sciences.
