Danny van Noort's Biography

Danny van Noort, Associate Professor, Linköping University

I have a MSc in experimental physics from Leiden University, the Netherlands, and a PhD in applied physics from Linköping University, Sweden. My main interests lie on the borderline of physics, engineering and biology, especially, the application of micro and nanotechnology to life science problems, notably organ-on-a-chip. I have held positions at top universities around the world, such as Princeton University, Seoul National University, National University of Singapore working on research topics, such as, biosensors, DNA computing in microfluidics, 3D cell culture in microfluidics, human-on-a-chip, organ-on-a-chip, microfabricated structures, automated liquid handling. I have published more than 50 papers in international journals (5 with cover art). Also, I have presented at more than 40 conferences, including keynote speaker, 70 invited lectures at universities and institutes. 2 of my papers were included in a special edition of Lab on a Chip and Integrative Biology collection of articles on organ-on-chip research. 3 papers have been top 10 most downloaded papers, while 1 of them has had that distinction for 9 months in a row, and another has been awarded 3rd highest cited paper from Singapore.
