Materials driven regeneration
TU/e researcher Tom de Greef is among the ten new members of the Young Academy, who were announced by the KNAW. Tom de Greef is associate professor at the department of Biomedical Engineering and working at the Institute for Complex Molecular Systems. The Young Academy exists since 2005 as an independent platform within the Royal […]
As of 1 December 2019, Patricia Dankers, professor at Eindhoven University of Technology, will serve as the new chairperson of the Chemistry Round Table. She succeeds Professor Bert Weckhuysen, who gave up the chair to secure his independent position as the chairperson of the Weckhuysen committee of the Royal Netherlands Academy for Arts and Sciences. […]
Last Wednesday (6th of November) MDR brought together PhD students and Postdocs involved in the MDR consortium. On this day we had a chance to get to know each other, talk about each other’s research and learn about social media and vloggen! It was a very nice and interesting day with lot’s of positive comments. […]
Together with the TU/e and other European universities Dr. Miguel Dias Castilho and colleagues were recently awarded with a #EU H2020 €8M grant. Within MDR Dr. Castilho works together with Joost Sluijter and Jos Malda on this project. This grant will allow them to make important progress on developing regenerative ventricular assisted devices to support […]

On the October 1st, Eline van Haaften successfully defended her PhD thesis which was focussed on Materials-Driven Regeneration reseach and was supervised by Carlijn Bouten and Nicholas Kurniawan. The title of her project was: ‘On the impact of the mechanical environment in vascular tissue engineering: an in vitro study.’ She received her PhD degree cum […]
Nicholas Kurniawan (TU/e) was awarded with an ERC Starting Grant of up to 1.5 M Euro. Nicholas and his team will work on dissecting the dynamics of the physical interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix. They will develop ways to mechanically manipulate cell behavior using dynamic substrates and materials. The outlook is to temporally control cell response […]
Prof. Jos Malda and coworkers publish on a new way of thinking about the regeneration of articular cartilage. Cartilage has a limited healing capacity; however, studies into the basic biological characteristics, formation and structural maintenance of the cartilage collagen network are providing explanations for the failure of current therapeutic approaches, urging us to rethink our […]
Prof. Patricia Dankers was awarded the Innovation award of the Journal of Polymer Science The Journal of Polymer Science Innovation Award has been granted to researchers working in areas […]
On December 5th, 2019 the Annual Meeting of MDR will take place in Den Bosch, The Netherlands. The location will be the Theater aan de Parade like last year. A detailed program will be published soon.
