Albert Liberski has been a post-doc scientist working for Ilika Technologies since April 2008. He is responsible for the development of biomedical research and commercial biomaterials. Before joining Ilika, he was a PhD student in Bradley Group (University of Edinburgh). He was involved in a number of scientific projects including: development of a bandage for cornea treatment and inkjet printing applications for high-throughput polymer synthesis and advanced cellular control. Albert was graduated with honours in Poland at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan in 2003 within the faculty of chemistry. He is the author and co-author of 8 scientific publications and one patent. His second passion after chemistry are tango and boxing.

Rapid fabrication of microfluidic devices
Novel fabrication of hydrophilic/hydrophobic patterns for Microarray based applications
A simple, convenient and flexible modification procedure to fabricate hydrophilic/ hydrophobic micropatterns on glass chips is demonstrated. Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), sucrose and ink patterns were transferred on glass chips using inkjet and manual printing. This was followed by the application of a hydrophobic film coating, a fluoroalkylsilane, (tridecafluoro-1,1,2,2-tetrahydroocctyl)dimethylchlorosilane (TFCS). Hydrophilic patterns were revealed by simply washing the chip to remove the hydrophilic masks. Resulting chips could be used repeatedly and most importantly, the simplicity of the procedure allowed rapid production of multiple designs.

Weaving is the technology known since beginning of civilization. The technical solutions used for textiles generation were improved over centuries. The idea presented here is use this technology for generating artificial tissues, connecting different types of tissues and finally develop artificial organ. Importance here is that waving is used for generating 2D structures (such as suiting) but also for 3D structures (such as ropes).
The basic improvement which allows use the weaving for organ development is fibbers modification. The idea is to incubate the cells on degradable fibbers weaving the fibbers in desire 3D structure and allow for morphing during the slow fibbers degradation.
The more advance option is to incubate cells inside of pipes instead fibbers. This allows avoid losing the cells during weaving process. But is this possible?
Russian producers made move Master and Marguerite in 10 parts. Generally the book is much better- that is obvious. The actors play is acceptable but much worse than in polish version („Mistrz i Małgorzata” Wojtyszki (1988)). Special effects are superb specially in ball scene. You must to see it.
