About

Moritz Braun is a pioneering researcher in the field of droplet microfluidics and high-throughput screening technologies. His work centers on the development of automated systems for manipulating nanoliter-scale droplets, with a particular focus on the Droplet Microarray (DMA) platform. Braun’s major contribution is the creation of ANDeS (Automated Nanoliter Droplet Selection and Collection Device), a groundbreaking tool that enables precise, high-speed isolation of individual droplets from large arrays. This innovation addresses a critical bottleneck in miniaturized experimentation, allowing researchers to recover specific droplets for downstream analysis—a capability previously limited by manual or low-throughput methods. With 8 citations since its 2023 publication, ANDeS has already attracted attention for its potential to accelerate drug discovery, single-cell analysis, and synthetic biology workflows. Braun’s work exemplifies how engineering solutions can unlock the full promise of the DMA, transforming it from a passive screening platform into an active, integrated system for complex biological and chemical assays. His research stands at the intersection of automation, microfluidics, and bioanalytics, offering scalable tools that reduce reagent consumption while increasing experimental throughput and reproducibility.
