Fundamental knowledge enables us to design solutions for the highly complex problems of today and tomorrow.
The Department of Biomedical Engineering offers top-level education and research in one of the most relevant and exciting scientific disciplines of the 21st century: engineering combining engineering and life sciences through challenge-based learning and a multidisciplinary approach in collaboration with hospitals industry and others the department addresses the great challenges of the future striving to improve healthcare and society as a whole.
Short introduction
The Cluster of Regenerative Engineering & Materials (REM) within the Department of Biomedical Engineering is looking to expand its team with an Associate or Full Professor to complement and enhance its ongoing research and educational efforts. REMs mission is to impact science and society by investigating and developing innovative bioengineering solutions and enabling technologies for the field of Regenerative Medicine through collaborative research excellence and by educating the professionals of the future. As our future colleague you are passionate about contributing to ongoing and new research and training programs. You conduct frontier research and education aligned with the engineering requirements of regenerative medicine and you are eager to shape the future of the field in a collaborative environment.
Description
The Department of Biomedical Engineering
Cluster Regenerative Engineering & Materials (REM)
The REM cluster aims to investigate and deliver cutting-edge engineering solutions for the field of regenerative medicine. This includes basic and applied research as well as methodological innovations in the fields of tissue engineering organ regeneration engineered disease modelling biomaterials & biofabrication computational modelling and data sciences. Current research focuses on cardiovascular orthopaedic and soft connective tissues as well as the mechanobiological and immunological aspects of tissue and organ development adaptation degeneration and regeneration. Cluster members are nationally and internationally highly competitive. Research is often performed in close collaboration with clinical partners patient organizations or industry. The clusters educational curriculum includes all relevant basic and applied courses in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine at the Bachelors and Masters levels with a keen eye for frontier engineering approaches. Moreover the Department runs a joint master track in Regenerative Medicine and Technology with the University Medical Center Utrecht.
Collaborations and opportunities
The Dutch regenerative medicine field is extensive and internationally leading. The REM cluster at TU/e is positioned very well within the Dutch landscape with excellent visibility and connections to other groups and institutes. Cluster members are involved in the Institute for Complex Molecular Systems the Materials Technology Institute and EAISI TU/es cross-departmental institute for Artificial Intelligence. REM staff take leading positions in several national and international public-private consortia a gravitation program a Summit program and a National Growth Fund in regenerative medicine. Many BmE staff have obtained prestigious personal grants such as Veni/Vidi/Vici ERC Starting Consolidator and Advanced grants.
Regenerative medicine is a topic of common interest across research groups in the Department of Biomedical Engineering such as Biomaterials Science and Photoacoustics & Ultrasound. Within TU/e collaborations exist with the Department of Mechanical Engineering for example on lab-on-chip developments and with the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science on methodological advancements of AI.
