Strategy
The Nanoengineering Group focuses on research at the interface between fundamental nanoscience and applied engineering, particularly in the area of photonic medical diagnostics, environmental issues, and food control. By introducing nanotechnology and photonic approaches, we bridge the gap between physical sciences and industrial as well as clinical applications to finally gain added value for novel biomedical methods, devices, and instrumentation. The acceleration of technology transfer is the driving motor for our research activities.
Early detection of Alzheimer's
We investigate the early detection of Alzheimer´s disease by a bimodal approach, employing Raman and FTIR (Fourier transform mid-infrared) spectroscopy
