Jan Engels

// born 1989, studied bio engineering at the University of Applied Sciences Aachen

// After acquiring his Bachelor's degree, Prof. Reinhard Renneberg suggested him for the fast-track programme of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) for a directly subsequent PhD in chemistry. He was accepted

// His interest is in nano particles for evidencing various reagents and their direct application

// At the moment, his research is targeted at FDA nano crystals for various immune assays

// Furthermore, his scientific interest has led to his activity in founding a start-up company spun off from the research group of Prof. Renneberg

Nano Crystals for mega Fluorescence Amplification

SuperNova in the test tube - von Prof Dr Reinhard Renneberg, Jan Engels, Dr Hans-Georg Eisenwiener

We tell the exciting story of how mega fluorescence amplification was invented.
First, there was the question: How can previous biochemical evidence reactions be amplified million-fold to detect the biochemical “needles in a haystack” (substances at very low concentrations) in a multicomponent system like a blood sample?
