Jeroen Rouwkema Email & Phone Number | 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. My group focuses on tuning the local mechanical and chemical micro-environment in order to control development and organization of vascularized engineered tissues. My group consists of three pillars, which each concentrate on a specific aspect to reach the common goal: • To engineer tissue units using novel fabrication technology in order to localize distinct micro-environments. • To develop computational models to predict the mechanical micro-environment due to external deformations and fluid flows, and subsequent models to predict tissue development based on this environment. • To develop micro-bioreactor screening systems to experimentally elucidate the effects of combined mechanical signals (deformation and fluid flow) on cell behavior and tissue development. Specialties: Cell and tissue culture Vascularization Tissue building blocks Tissue mechanics Finite element modelling Computational fluid dynamics Bioreactors For more info see: http://vascularizationlab.com/
