Klaus SchindhelmKlaus Schindhelm received his PhD in chemical engineering in 1978 at the University of New South Wales with a dissertation on patient hemodialysis interactions. The main focus of his research has been the manipulation of body fluids for extra-corporel therapies ranging from hemodialysis to therapeutic immunoadsorption systems. This work has involved mass transfer studies, kinetic modeling and the investigation of blood material interactions. His interest in cellular therapy has evolved from a background in therapeutic solute manipulation, and is currently developing affinity membrane systems for the preparation of therapeutic cell subsets. Professor Schindhelm is a former chairman of the College of Biomedical Engineers in Australia and is currently the Head of the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering at the University of New South Wales.
