Design and development of integrated point-of-care systems for biomedical diagnostics – this research area encompasses the development of modern, miniaturized point-of-care (POC) diagnostic devices that integrate sample preparation, analysis, and result reading functions into a single system. Research focuses on the design of disposable microfluidic systems (cassettes, cartridges, LFA test strips) and the construction of autonomous readers enabling diagnostic testing directly at the patient. This includes the development of integrated flow management systems (micropumps, microvalves, microfluidic channels), measurement electronics, control software, and user interfaces. Particular emphasis is placed on the integration of biosensors (e.g., electrochemical, optical) with microfluidic platforms and the automation of the entire diagnostic process. The technologies being developed are used in companion diagnostics, oncology, cardiovascular diseases, and many other conditions requiring rapid and precise biomarker detection. Furthermore, the systems being developed can be adapted to detect infectious agents, including viruses, bacteria, and parasites, enabling their use in the rapid diagnosis of infectious diseases in clinical settings, in the field, and during crisis situations. Such platforms also have potential for diagnostic applications in the military, emergency services, and combat medicine, where mobility, speed, independence from laboratory infrastructure, and the ability to operate in challenging environmental conditions are essential.
