We are proud to announce that eight members of our group were selected to present their research at the Miniaturized Systems for Chemistry and Life Sciences – Micro-Total Analysis Systems (µTAS 2025) Conference, held at the Adelaide Convention Centre (Adelaide, Australia) from 2–6 November 2025.

This prestigious international conference brings together leading researchers in microfluidics, lab-on-a-chip technologies, and miniaturized systems for life sciences. Our team contributed eight poster presentations, showcasing innovative advances in microfluidics, biosensing, ionogels, bioelectronics, and cell analysis.
