Toch blijkt juist in die vervelende ontstekingsreactie de sleutel voor genezing te liggen. Onderzoekers van de faculteit Biomedical Engineering aan de ºÚÁϸ£ÀûÍø onderdrukken het immuunsysteem niet, maar gebruiken ontstekingen als trigger om het lichaam zichzelf te laten herstellen. Dit doen ze met regeneratieve hartkleppen en stents die meegroeien met hun omgeving. ]]> /nieuws-en-evenementen/nieuwsoverzicht/01-06-2026-sandra-loerakker-appointed-full-professor-of-modeling-in-mechanobiology /nieuws-en-evenementen/nieuwsoverzicht/01-06-2026-sandra-loerakker-appointed-full-professor-of-modeling-in-mechanobiology Mon, 01 Jun 2026 13:34:00 +0200 Sandra Loerakker has been appointed full professor of Modeling in Mechanobiology in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology (ºÚÁϸ£ÀûÍø), effective 1 June 2026. In parallel, she recently took on the role of Vice Dean of the department, further strengthening her contribution to its strategic development. ]]> /nieuws-en-evenementen/nieuwsoverzicht/21-05-2026-leiderschap-is-van-iedereen /nieuws-en-evenementen/nieuwsoverzicht/21-05-2026-leiderschap-is-van-iedereen Thu, 21 May 2026 16:25:00 +0200 CvB-voorzitter Koen Janssen, decaan van Applied Physics and Science Education Kees Storm en programmamanager Lonneke van Luxemburg over ºÚÁϸ£ÀûÍø’s nieuwe leiderschapsmodel en -programma. ]]>
