Researchers from ODTÜ MEMS Center had a productive visit to IMEC on June 4-5, 2024, to: -Establish new contacts between ODTÜ MEMS and IMEC scientists and management -Gain insights into the operations of IMEC -Participate in technical meetings on life science technologies, microfluidics, and MEMS -Engage in non-technical meetings on collaborations, venturing, and innovation. This visit was a valuable opportunity to strengthen ties between ODTÜ MEMS and IMEC, and we look forwar

As part of the OrChESTRA project, Petek Korkusuz visited Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands on May 27-29, 2024, to discuss collaboration opportunities. Additionally, Prof. Dr. Petek Korkusuz delivered a seminar titled "Niche Based Cellular Therapeutic Platforms." 🙏 We extend our thanks to TU/E, particularly to Jaap den Toonder, Hans Wyss and Burcu Gumuscu (Sefunc), Ph.D. for hosting us and to Dr. Petek Korkusuz for her insightful seminar.

Meltem Okan Aydın, from ODTÜ MEMS Center, represented the work conducted within the OrChESTRA project at the 13th edition of the Workshop on Biosensors and Bioanalytical Microtechniques in Environmental, Food and Clinical Analysis held in Çeşme, İzmir, Turkey. Dr. Aydın's presentation on developing an "integratable electrochemical dopamine sensor for levodopa efficacy in Gut-on-a-Chip models" drew significant interest and captivated the audience with its innovative approach a
