معرفی
Prof. Dr. Dario Anselmetti is a Professor of Physics at the University of Bielefeld, Germany, holding multiple leadership roles including Vice Rector for Studies and Teaching. He is affiliated with the Faculty of Physics, where he leads the Biophysics and Applied Nanosciences Group and serves as Speaker of SFB 613. Anselmetti is also involved with the Center for Uncertainty Studies (CeUS), the Bielefeld School of Education (BiSEd), and the Specialized Language Center.
His research focuses on single-molecule and single-cell biophysics, with particular emphasis on molecular binding mechanisms in cardiac biology. Anselmetti's work spans from fundamental nanomechanical studies to potential medical applications in cardiology, oncology, and infectious disease medicine. His laboratory employs advanced techniques including scanning probe microscopy, optical and magnetic tweezers, and micro/nanofluidics to investigate phenomena such as molecular self-assembly, biological recognition, and transport through nanopores.
Anselmetti's recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate a strong focus on cardiac desmosomes and molecular binding kinetics, particularly related to arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathies. His team has made significant contributions to understanding how different bond types (slip, catch, and ideal bonds) function in cardiac cell adhesion. The research also extends to nanomembrane technologies and their applications in filtration and sensing.

As an educator, Anselmetti founded and directs teutolabPHYSIK, an experimental laboratory for students and prospective teachers. He serves on multiple university committees related to teaching and student affairs, including as Chairman of the Commission for Studies and Teaching and the BiSEd Board. His educational leadership extends to developing digital laboratory concepts for teacher training.
His research group actively collaborates on projects including the German Research Foundation-funded study on 'Molecular mechanisms of the development of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathies' and the Innovation Campus for Sustainable Solutions project. Anselmetti has also edited significant works including 'Single Cell Analysis: Technologies and Applications' (Wiley-VCH, 2009) and co-edited 'Forces in Scanning Probe Methods' (Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1995).
