Manipulating micro-objects in live animals
Our animal-on-a-chip system can acoustically maneuver microparticles in the body of small organisms. We successfully showed this new micromanipulation. Our initial work was published this year in Sciences Advances: Jooss, Viktor Manuel, et al. "In vivo acoustic manipulation of microparticles in zebrafish embryos." Science advances 8.12 (2022): eabm2785.

In this project we would like to expand to on-demand release applications. The possible tasks on this project reach from improving the hard-and software of the setup to studying release and absorption in the organism.
This project can include a selection of following tasks:
1. Design and build injection robot
2. Automate setup with Arduino & Co.
3. Calibrate of mechanical and electronic system for manipulation
4. Manipulate objects in animals
5. Release payload at target sites
We are looking forward to motivated students in the field of mechanical or biomedical engineering. We have premium lab facilities at the IBM research campus in Zurich to conduct the project.
