Short presentation
I am heading the group Translational Bioprinting, and we are focusing on bioprinting and testing novel regenerative biomaterials. We explore and test the possibilities of printing constructs, cells, and tissues for regenerative purposes. I am especially interested in longitudinal imaging of material constructs to visualise the mechanisms of action of regenerative smart materials, with an extra focus on materials tailored for bone regeneration.
