Prof. Vörös is interested in research and teaching in the areas of Bioelectronics, Biosensors and Biophysics. His group performs interdisciplinary research at the interface between engineering, nanotechnology, materials science, medicine, and biology. The generated knowledge is then applied for developing new nanoscale tools (e.g. the FluidFM) and methods for biosensing, diagnostics, and interfacing biology. The group also develops new biomedical devices using stretchable electronics. Besides his application oriented activities, Prof. Vörös is also interested in answering basic research questions about how our brain processes and stores information using controlled neural networks that form the basis of a new scientific area: bottom-up neuroscience. János Vörös is a Full Professor in the Institute for Biomedical Engineering of the University and ETH Zurich (Department for Information Technology and Electrical Engineering) heading the Laboratory for Biosensors and Bioelectronics since 1st of January, 2006. Born on June 24th of 1970 in Keszthely, Hungary, János Vörös has studied Physics at the Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest. After receiving a diploma in Physics in 1995, he was a doctoral student at the Department of Biological Physics of the Eötvös University (in collaboration with Microvacuum Ltd.) where he received his PhD in Biophysics in 2000. Since 1998 he was a member of the BioInterface group in the Laboratory for Surface Science and Technology at the Department of Materials of ETH Zurich as visiting scientist, postdoc, and from 2004 as group leader of the Dynamic BioInterfaces group until 2006.
