Alexander Grünberger (born 1985) is Junior professor for Multiscale Bioengineering at the University of Bielefeld. He studied Bioengineering at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the University of Queensland (Australia) and the University of Delaware (USA) from 2004 to 2010. In 2014, he completed his PhD at the RWTH Aachen University under the supervision of Prof. Wolfgang Wiechert in the field of microfluidic single cell analysis. In 2014 he was awarded both the Bioeconomy PhD Award of the Bioeconomy Science Center of NRW and the Klaus-Goerttler Promotions Award of the German Society for Flow Cytometry. In 2015, he received the VAAM PhD Award of the Association for General and Applied Microbiology followed by a "Helmholtz Postdoctoral Fellowship" in 2016. In 2017 he was appointed to the newly established Chair of Multiscale Bioengineering at the University of Bielefeld. His research focus is the development and application of novel microfluidic single-cell cultivation systems for application in biotechnology and bioprocess engineering.
