Amin Hassan-Zadeh
Dr Amin Hassan-Zadeh is an emerging leader in biomedical microfluidics with a strong interdisciplinary profile spanning cancer diagnostics, and translational device development. He has designed and developed several high-impact microfluidic platforms for capturing and phenotyping circulating tumour cells (CTCs), small extracellular vesicles, and other liquid biopsy markers. His track record includes high-quality publications in Lab on a Chip, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, and Advanced Sensor Research, along with three front-cover selections and an invited perspective on the clinical translation of microfluidic-SERS technologies for liquid biopsy analysis.
He brings critical has expertise in microdevice engineering, translational diagnostics, and data integration. He was the recipient of a prestigious CAD $110,000 Mitacs Elevate Fellowship for work conducted in partnership with Amgen Canada, where he developed a centrifugal microencapsulation platform for antibody discovery. His work has secured over $230,000 in funding through national and industry schemes, including a $100,000 Truc Lam Zen grant for breast cancer liquid biopsy research. His collaborations with industry (Amgen, VivaZome Therapeutics), clinicians (Austin Health, St Vincent’s Hospital, Kinghorn Cancer Centre), and academic institutes (Macquarie University, UNSW, UBC) highlight his ability to translate engineering innovation into clinical impact.
