Marijn Peters is Assistant Professor in the Soft Tissue Engineering and Mechanobiology group of the Department of Biomedical Engineering and has an affiliate position as Assistant Professor at the Department of Pediatric Cardiothoracic Surgery at the University Medical Center Utrecht. Her research focusses on regeneration of cardiovascular tissues in pediatric patients with congenital heart disease. She integrates immune shielding technology, mother and child predictive engineering and living culture models to protect cardiovascular grafts from immune rejection and improve patient care by studing patient-specific disease sensitivity. Her group combines tissue engineering, advanced dynamic culture models, high resolution microscopy, sequencing and proteomics to understand tissue interactions with grafts and model immunogenicity and immune protection. Her work has been recognized by the Dutch Heart Foundation Dekker grant, ZonMW Off Road grant and NWO xs grant. She is an affiliate member of the Institute for Complex Molecular Systems and Board Member of Young@Heart. 

Marijn Peters was trained in biology and biomedical sciences at the University of Utrecht, where she received her Master degree in 2017. She has obtained her PhD degree on cardiac regeneration and iPS system based in vitro modeling of disease at the University Medical Center Utrecht in 2021. During her PhD, she was a visiting research scholar in Stanford University at the group of Mark Mercola to investigate mechanisms of iPS-derived cardiomyocyte maturation and disease modeling and regenerative targets. In 2021, she started her first postdoc in the group of Marie-Jose Goumans at Leiden University Medical Center on the targeting of human valves gene expression using lentiviral vectors. Afterward, she joined the team of Professor Carlijn Bouten at Eindhoven University of Technology as a postdoc to study dynamic heart valve culture models and develop immune shielding technology for which she obtained a Dutch Heart Foundation Dekker grant and a ZonMW Off Road grant. In May 2026, she joined the Department of Biomedical Engineering as Assistant Professor.
