About
Stephan Eickelmann is a pioneer in low-cost, accessible nanofabrication, with his work centering on laser-based 3D polymer printing and its application to chemical synthesis and surface patterning. His most cited paper, "A Low‐Cost Laser‐Based Nano‐3D Polymer Printer for Rapid Surface Patterning and Chemical Synthesis of Peptide and Glycan Microarrays" (2019, 16 citations), introduces a transformative approach that uses affordable laser setups to create defined polymer nanolayers. These layers act as a "solid solvent," embedding chemical building blocks for spot-wise surface patterning and enabling the rapid, precise synthesis of peptide and glycan microarrays—critical tools in diagnostics and drug discovery. By stacking these nanolayers, Eickelmann’s method bypasses expensive traditional lithography, democratizing nano-3D printing for labs with limited budgets. His contributions bridge materials science and biochemistry, offering a scalable route to functionalized surfaces. With this work, Eickelmann has established himself as a key innovator in rapid prototyping for chemical biology, empowering researchers to fabricate complex microarrays without specialized infrastructure.
