About

Pascal Colpo’s research sits at the intersection of microfluidics, biosensor engineering, and high-throughput cellular analysis, with a focus on developing miniaturized platforms for biomedical and environmental applications. His most influential work, “A printed nanolitre-scale bacterial sensor array” (2010, 38 citations), pioneered a novel approach to whole-cell biosensors by combining bacterial sensing elements with printed array technology. This innovation enabled the creation of compact, multiplexed sensor systems capable of detecting multiple analytes simultaneously at the nanolitre scale—a significant step forward in portable diagnostics and environmental monitoring. Colpo further advanced the field with “Multiplex cell microarrays for high-throughput screening” (2016, 34 citations), where he expanded microarray principles to create cell-based arrays that allow researchers to screen thousands of cellular responses in parallel. This work has proven invaluable for drug discovery and toxicology studies, offering a powerful tool for functional genomics and phenotypic screening. By bridging the gap between traditional microarray technology and live-cell analysis, Colpo has established himself as a key contributor to the development of next-generation biosensing and screening platforms, with his methods influencing both academic research and industrial applications.
