Mathias Busek

Mathias Busek is a Researcher at the Hybrid Technology Hub within the University of Oslo's Faculty of Medicine. His work focuses on developing advanced microfluidic systems including organ-on-chip technologies, hypoxia modeling platforms, and 3D bioprinting applications. Dr. Busek designs pneumatically actuated microsystems and develops computational models for microfluidic network optimization.

His research enables precise control of cellular microenvironments for applications in drug testing and disease modeling. Current projects investigate metabolic crosstalk between organs using pump-less recirculating platforms and develop analytical systems for organoid medium analysis compliant with FDA standards.

Busek's publications demonstrate consistent innovation in microengineering approaches for biological applications, with recent advances in 3D-printed tooling for microfluidics and stem cell-derived tissue models. His work bridges engineering precision with biological complexity to create physiologically relevant in vitro systems.
