Biography

Aman Russom is a professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, specializing in the development and application of micro- and nanofluidic technologies for biomedical and health-related applications. His research work focuses on the interface of microfluidics, nanobiotechnology, and biomedical engineering, aiming to improve diagnostics and therapeutic strategies as well as advance the understanding of diseases. Central to his research is the microfluidic manipulation and separation of biological particles, systems, cells, pathogens, extracellular vesicles, and nanoparticles. He has a particular interest in inertial and elasto-inertial microfluidics and aims to develop label-free scalable approaches for sample preparation and enrichment, which are crucial for effective diagnostic and nanomedicine workflows. His research spans from advanced clinical contexts to resource-limited settings. Currently, he coordinates the EU–Africa project HOLICARE, which focuses on the development and evaluation of point-of-care diagnostic technologies for respiratory infectious diseases in close collaboration with clinical and public health partners. In parallel, he is involved in cancer diagnostics and therapy and the development of organ-on-chip microphysiological models to study tumor microenvironments and their relevance to diagnostics. Overall, his work emphasizes translation-oriented research, bridging fundamental engineering with real-world health applications.
