Prof. Dr. Detlev Belder

Detlev Belder is a full professor of analytical chemistry at Leipzig University. His research is focused on lab‐on‐a‐chip technology as an enabling science in chemistry. In the Belder laboratories at the University of Leipzig, a broad field of research and application of lab-on-a-chip technology is carried out. The Belder Group is known for miniaturized separation techniques such as chip electrophoresis and chip HPLC. The Belder lab also works on detection techniques such as the coupling of microfluidic chips with mass spectrometry or ion mobility spectrometry, as well as on optical techniques such as fluorescence and Raman microscopy. A particular focus in recent years has been on integrated chip laboratories that combine chemical reactors and analysis units on one chip. He is the spokesperson for the DFG-funded research group FOR 2177 Integrated Chemical Microlaboratories (InChem). Professor Belder has been recognized with several awards, such as the Gerhard Hesse Prize (2015) and the Fresenius Prize (2019).
