Opportunities for cancer treatment and wound healing The research team of the Microrobotic Bioengineering Lab ( from left to right ): Berna Özkale Edelmann, Andrew Shin, Philipp Harder, Nergishan Iyisan, Chen Wang Microrobots for the study of cells - . PhD candidate Philipp Harder produces thousands of new microrobots in the lab. A group of researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has developed the world's first microrobot ("microbot") capable of navigating within groups of cells and stimulating individual cells. Berna Özkale Edelmann, a professor of Nanoand Microrobotics, sees potential for new treatments of human diseases. The dye rhodamine-B gives the microrobot its orange colour. Its intensity provides information about how warm it is. They are round, half as thick as a human hair, contain gold nanorods and fluorescent dye, and are surrounded by a biomaterial obtained from algae.
