Teodor Veres's Biography

Teodor Veres, Section Head, Bioanalytical Micro-Nano Devices, Life Sciences Division, National Research Council of Canada & McGill University

Dr. Veres is the Head of the Bioanalytical Micro-Nano Devices Section in the Life Sciences Division of the National Research Council of Canada. He holds adjunct professor positions in McGill Biomedical Engineering and Bioengineering departments and Laval University Medical School. He graduated in 1999 from the Université de Montréal with a Ph.D. in Physics. Dr. Veres has expertise in the design and fabrication of nanomaterials and their integration in microfluidic systems for applications in clinical and environmental rapid diagnostics as well as for cell and tissue engineering. Dr. Veres is leading NRC initiative aimed to the development of polymer-based fabrication of bio-microsystems and in particular lab-on-chip technologies for micro-analytical applications. He is also co-founder and co-director of the joint Health Canada-NRC Reference Centre for Rapid Diagnostic, Regulatory Sciences and Food Safety. He coauthored more than 150 papers and 25 patent applications in the field of design, fabrication and testing of polymer-based micro-systems and magnetic nano-carriers and their applications for diagnostics.
