Dear all,
On Thursday November 21
we will have a Kontinkangas Research Seminar at 15.15-16 in F202. The speaker is
Associate professor Jeroen Rouwkema, Department of Biomechanical Engineering, University of Twente, The Netherlands.
The title of his presentation is “Chemical and mechanical perturbation of in vitro vascular network organization”.
The laboratory focuses on tuning the local mechanical and chemical micro-environment in order to control development and organization of vascularized engineered tissues. Adding a vascular network to an engineered tissue
is a promising method to enhance tissue integration and survival after implantation. The engineered vascular network can connect to the vasculature of the patient, resulting in a faster perfusion with blood and therefore a better supply of nutrients and oxygen.
More about his research interests and publications https://nbte.nl/Jeroen-Rouwkema,

Welcome everybody! No registration required.
Coffee is served during networking session 20 min before the presentation time.
Field specific credits can be earned according to
UniOGS
recommendations (attendance at scientific seminars for 10 hours: 0,5ECTS)
If you would like to have separate discussions with the speaker, please contact
Teija.luoto@oulu.fi who will set up
the meeting time.
Organized by Biocenter Oulu and Health and Biosciences Doctoral Programme
