Description
Description
Principles in Medical Biohybrid Microrobots explores the field of biohybrid magnetic microrobots, explaining the evolution of locomotion at the microscale and provides the general theoretical framework to describe the hydrodynamics of swimming microorganisms. This book helps readers take the relevant environmental conditions of biohybrid microrobots into consideration, such as viscosity, fluid flow, and interactions with other objects, as well as mapping the potential environment during applications of biohybrid microrobots inside the human body.
This book envisions the potential impact of microrobots in biomedical applications and will be a practical and useful guide to graduate students, senior undergraduate students, researchers, and professionals in biomedical engineering, as well as medical researchers, not only for the fundamental knowledge, but also the technical and experimental know-how for designing, fabricating, and operating biohybrid microrobots.

Veronika Magdanz
Veronika Magdanz, born in Rathenow, Germany, in 1985, studied biotechnology at the TU Braunschweig from 2004-2010 and chemical engineering at the University of Waterloo, Canada from 2007-2008 as an ISAP exchange student. She received her doctorate in biology in 2016 from TU Dresden after performing pioneering work on biohybrid microrobots at the Institute for Integrative Nanosciences of the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research in Dresden (IFW). From 2017-2020, she conducted metabolic and kinetic studies on sperm of various species as an Open Topic Postdoc at the Chair of Applied Zoology at the TU Dresden besides continuing her research on sperm-hybrid microrobots. In 2020, she was awarded a Feodor-Lynen Fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt foundation to join the Smart nanobiodevices group at IBEC, Barcelona. She is currently La Caixa Junior Leader at IBEC conducting research on various biohybrid and bioinspired robots.
