Despina Moschou
Fellows
2025
Dr.
Electronic and Electrical Engineering University of Bath, Claverton Down Campus Bath, UK
Inaugurated for:
Her leadership in the translation of Lab-on-Chip bioanalytical microsystems technology into real-life applications and patient benefit.
Short CV
Dr Moschou is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering. Her research interests include Lab-on-Chip microsystems for bioanalytical applications, large area electronics and bioelectronic sensors. She has an excellent research track record (48 per reviewed journal articles, >1500 citations), which is evidenced by her publications, research grants and fellowships and international collaborations. Her research line (Lab-on-PCB technology) in this area is globally unique, pioneered and led by herself internationally, with the majority of its foundations invented by herself at different stages of her career (standardized design, industrial manufacturing, seamless electronics integration, multicomponent system development), reaching maturity and global acceptance during her fully independent work in Bath. It is worth noting that the ground-breaking nature of her research is currently being considered the most promising route forward for her research field’s (Lab-on-Chip) year-long struggle towards real-life impact, with the founding fathers of Lab-on-Chip citing her work as such (Prof Andreas Manz) and personally mentoring her (Prof Albert van den Berg, Prof Jonathan Cooper). With the COVID-19 pandemic bringing indisputably at the technology forefront the need for high-performance, electronics-enabled biomedical testing at the Point-of-Care, her research has received renewed industrial and societal acknowledgement, with her research producing the most rapid COVID test in the world. The peer-reviewed results have received international acknowledgement both by the academic community but also by society, with the news reproduced by BBC West, the Semafor Newsletter and the Engineer, amongst many. During the past year, she has been approached by numerous national and international policy-makers, mass media (BBC) and industries for her research team’s pioneering ongoing work on miniaturized genetic-based COVID-19 testing technology.
