Brigitte Städler (ORCID: 0000-0002-7335-3945) was Assistant Professor at the Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center at Aarhus University, Denmark between 2011 and 2014, before she was promoted to Associate Professor in 2015. Prior to this, she obtained her PhD from ETH Zurich, Switzerland followed by post doc time at the University of Melbourne, Australia.

Currently, she is the head of the ‘Laboratory for Cell Mimicry’, an interdisciplinary group working at the interface of drug delivery, polymer science, cell biology, and microfluidics to provide nature inspired solutions to address medical challenges. Highlights include the first report on i) intracellularly active subcompartmentalized nanoreactors, ii) the integration of microreactors with HepG2 cells, and iii) directional self-propelled nanobots. In addition to her fundamental research, she is also collaborating with companies like DuPont, Carlsberg and Microsoft.

Brigitte has over 75 peer-reviewed publications (web of science h-index 27) and 5 book chapters. She obtained multiple fellowships including L’Oreal/UNESCO - For Women in Science Fellowship, Denmark and the Carlsberg Foundation – Distinguished Associate Professor Fellowship.
