Hazal Kutluk

Hazal Kutluk is a Researcher at the Institute of Microtechnology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Technische Universität Braunschweig. Her work intersects biomedical engineering and microtechnology for health applications.

Academic Background:

• B.Sc. in Mechanical (Automotive) Engineering, Hacettepe University (2010-2015)
• M.Sc. in Microsystems Engineering, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg (2015-2018)

Research Focus: Developing organ-on-chip systems and microfluidic biosensors to study cellular biomechanics in bacterial infections and enable rapid biomolecule detection. Her work combines microfabrication, biomedical diagnostics, and infection mechanisms within the university's Engineering for Health initiative.

Selected Publications explore trends in lab-on-a-chip diagnostics, ECM integration, and single-cell analysis, reflecting interdisciplinary approaches in biosensing and tissue engineering.

Research Funding: Participated in the project Decoding Lyme Disease: From Microtechnology to Biomechanics (08/2020-02/2022), funded by 12plus6 (Faculty 4, TU Braunschweig).
