Dr. Jens Ducrée is a Professor of Microsystems in the School of Physical Sciences at Dublin City University in Ireland.

The main part of his research is directed towards novel microfluidic platforms and associated actuation, detection, fabrication and instrumentation technologies for the integration, automation, miniaturization and parallelization of sample preparation and detection of bioanalytical assays (e.g. ELISA, nucleic acid testing, general chemistry, cell counting). Typical applications are sample-to-answer systems for biomedical point-of-care and global diagnostics, liquid handling automation for the life sciences (e.g. concentration / purification and amplification of DNA / RNA from a range of biosamples), environmental monitoring and food safety.
