Frits Flesch

Dr. Frits Flesch is an Assistant Professor at Utrecht University's Faculty of Science, affiliated with the Department of Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery. His research focuses on Analytical Chemistry, Bioanalysis, Biochemistry, and Life Sciences, with additional expertise in educational professionalization (ICT/teaching). He holds a PhD from Utrecht University (2000) where his thesis explored sperm plasma membrane dynamics.

Research interests span:

• Analytical Method Development: Electrochemical affinity measurements, HPLC, and atomic force microscopy for biological interactions.
• Drug Discovery: Lectin binding mechanisms, nanocarrier systems for drug delivery, and biomarker analysis.
• Biochemistry: Membrane biology, enzyme kinetics, and glycobiology.

His publications (27+) emphasize interdisciplinary approaches, with recent work in electrochemical biosensing (2023) and microbial adhesion (2021). Earlier contributions include drug delivery systems (micelles, nanogels) and clinical toxicology.
