Max is a Postdoc in the Furst Lab, where he develops electrochemical biosensors using CRISPR-based technologies. Max combines a background in engineering and nanomaterials with a strong passion for translating science into real-world impact. His work focuses on creating portable diagnostic tools that bring lab-quality testing closer to everyday settings, empowering faster decisions in healthcare and beyond.
Max is motivated by the idea that cutting-edge technologies should be accessible to everyone. Through both his research and entrepreneurial efforts in Sensopore, he aims to help shape a future where rapid diagnostics are as commonplace as a thermometer at home.
