Integrated Photonic Processor for Quantum Computing
Integrated photonic technology enables computations with light on a chip similar to how modern microchips perform computations with electrons. Even more remarkable, photonic processors can operate with light at its fundamental quantum level, which fuels rapid developments in photonic quantum computing. In our quantum photonic lab at Saxion, we explore key technologies enabling photonic quantum…

CIRCULAR
Development of a High-Throughput Heart-on-a-Chip Platform using Pipetting Robots. A Heart-on-a-Chip is a microfluidic chip reproducing the organ’s function using heart muscle cells cultured inside the chip chamber. This technique is a promising tool for drug development and a cost-efficient alternative for the ethically questionable animal models. In order to push this technique towards to…

CIRCULAR (BML)
Electrical stimulation of Cardiomyocytes in a Heart-on-a-Chip. Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a serious health status affecting 33 million worldwide. The drug development for AF is cost intensive and a time-consuming process. Organ-on-Chip technology has the potential to revolutionize drug development. While conventional processes involve animal testing, this number can be reduced significantly by using human…

MenoPause (BML)
An osteoblast/osteoclast co-culture model to study menopause related osteoporosis. Menopause marks the final menstrual period in a woman’s life. In the period preceding menopause, called perimenopause, a shift in hormonal balance occurs. While some women go through this period uneventfully, others experience negative consequences that affect their physical health and workability. One of the physical…
