Research Area

Matthias Meier is a German biophysicist who received his PhD from the University of Basel in Switzerland in 2006. In 2008 he was awarded with the Feodor-Lynen postdoctoral fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and worked 4 years with Steven Quake at Stanford University. With help of an Emmy-Noether-Fellowship from the German Research Foundation he returned to Europe and established an independent research group at the Microsystem Engineering department of the University of Freiburg. In 2017 Dr. Meier received the ERC Consolidator grant for performing research in medical engineering field of Organ-on-Chips. In 2018 Matthias Meier joined the Helmholtz Pioneer Campus.
