icrotubular nanomembrane devices (MNDs) with outstanding properties

are self-assembled into fully functional and integrative three-dimensional

architectures. This makes them attractive for a broad range of applications

and scientific research fields ranging from nanoelectronics and photonics to

nanorobotics and medicine. MNDs are used to construct ultra-compact and

ultra-sensitive advanced electronic circuitry, nanophotonic cavities, sensors and

optofluidic components around fluidic channels towards the implementation

of a lab-in-a-tube system. They are also useful to study basic mechanisms of

single cancer and stem cell migration, growth and mitosis in realistic 3D confined

environments. Off-chip applications include biomimetic microelectronics for

regenerative cuff implants and the development of hybrid microbiorobotic motors

for paradigm shifting reproduction technologies. Cellular cyborg machinery is put

forth for novel schemes in targeted drug delivery and cancer treatment

Biography

Prof. Dr. Oliver G. Schmidt is the Director of the Institute for Inte-

grative Nanosciences at the Leibniz IFWDresden, Germany. His

interests bridge across several disciplines, ranging from nano-

materials and nanoelectronics to microfluidics, microrobotics

and biomedical applications. He has received several awards:

the Otto-Hahn Medal from the Max-Planck-Society in 2000, the

Philip-Morris Research Award in 2002, the Carus-Medal from

the German Academy of Natural Scientists Leopoldina in 2005,

and the International Dresden Barkhausen Award in 2013. Most

recently, he was awarded the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz-Prize

2018 of the German Research Foundation. The Leibniz-Prize is

Germanyâ€™s most important research award and recognizes

his outstanding work in the investigation, manufacturing and

innovative application of functional nanostructures.
