Jürgen Fritz

Prof. Jürgen Fritz is a Professor of Biophysics at Jacobs University Bremen, School of Science. His research focuses on molecular biophysics, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and nanomechanical biosensors. He explores biomolecular systems at the single-molecule level to develop bioanalytical tools and nanotechnology applications. His work includes studying biomolecule interactions, label-free biosensing, and surface functionalization techniques.

Education: Vordiplom (University of Karlsruhe, 1991), Physikdiplom (University of Heidelberg, 1994), PhD in experimental physics (University of Basel, 1998). Postdoctoral positions at IBM Zurich Research Laboratory (1998-2000) and MIT Media Lab (2000-2003).

Research interests span biophysics, nanotechnology, and microfluidics. Key contributions include cantilever-based biosensors and AFM studies of biomolecules. Over 15 key publications since 1998 highlight advancements in nanomechanical sensing and biomolecular interactions.

Lab facilities include state-of-the-art nanotechnology and biophysical instrumentation. Collaborates on projects involving lipid bilayers, microcontact printing, and nanoscale biosensing systems.
