Tampere University's honorary doctorate laureate programme recognises world-class research and education focusing on technology, health and society. In the framework of this programme, Prof. Sabeth Verpoorte has been awarded an honorary doctorate for her work on lab-on-a-chip and organ-on-a-chip research as well as for long-standing interdisciplinary collaborations.
