Presentation at NWO Biophysics Veldhoven 2023
On Monday 9th of October, Diana gave a presentation at the NWO Biophysics conference in Vedlhoven, entitled: “controlled needle-free delivery of insulin in ex vivo human skin for targeted skin-layer delivery”. The presentation was well received and the following discussion had to be aborted due to a lack of available time. Furthermore, attendance of the […]
Microfluidic jet splashing Charted
While preparing our Bubble-Gun system for actual skin injections using hydrogels we discovered distinct impact behavior based on jet characteristics and material stiffness. As the vast majority of (microfluidic)jet impact behavior was still uncharted territory we decided to map and explore the boundaries of these impact regimes. This work was collected into a paper titled […]
BuBbleGun in Klokhuis episode ‘Fear-free injections’
Proud and happy to share our needle-free injection research with the new generation! On 31-11-2022 our BuBbble-Gun system was featured in an episode from Klokhuis, a popular Dutch educational tv-show for children, about Fear-free injections (‘Prikken zonder angst’). The episode reviewed why people are afraid of injections, how to better deal with this fear, and […]
BuBbleGun at University of Twente Alumniday 2022
During the 2022 University of Twente Alumniday, Diana gave a seminar about the history of needles and injections, needle-free injections and the remaining issues with current needle-free injection systems, which our BuBbleGun system aspires to resolve. There was a broad audience of UT Alumni and there was a extensive discussion afterwards. Additionally, the demonstration experiment […]
