Dr. Stefan Giselbrecht graduated from the University of Saarbrücken (Germany) in Technical Biology and Bionics/Biology. He received his doctorate in mechanical/micro engineering from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT, Germany) in 2005.
From 2007 to 2014 he headed the research group 'Biomimetic Microdevices' at the Institute for Biological Interfaces-1 at KIT. Since 2014, he has been working at the MERLN Institute for Technology-Inspired Regenerative Medicine. Currently he is Associate Professor at the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences of Maastricht University.
Stefan Giselbrecht is interested in developing innovative micro engineered, microfluidic systems to culture and analyze advanced stem cell-derived 3D in vitro models. He is particularly interested in developing high-content and high-throughput screening platforms to study early embryonic development, the first cell fate decisions, collective cell behavior, and morphogenetic events in vitro.
