Biography
Nikolay Dimov completed his PhD in microfluidics and MEMS-based technology from the University of Twente in 2011. Then, he joined the Biomedical Diagnostic Institute, where he developed on-disc devices for point-of-care diagnostics of meningitis and early detection of breast cancer from minuscule volumes of whole blood. Since 2013, he is investigating novel, on-chip applications for purification of active compounds and intensification of key operation downstream processes. Together with his colleagues at University College London, they engineered and integrated a microfluidic toolbox enabling fast characterization, monitoring and control of continuous downstream processing unit operations.
