Materiomics

Jan de Boer is a professor of applied cell biology at the University of Twente, The Netherlands, at the MIRA Institute for Biomedical Technology and Technical Medicine, where his team performs innovative research on molecular and cellular engineering of bone tissue. He is chair of the Netherlands Society of Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering, and co-founder of the biotech company Materiomics B.V. Clemens A. van Blitterswijk is a professor of tissue regeneration at the University of Twente, and chair of the Department of Tissue Regeneration at MIRA. Clemens has published over 300 papers and is co-inventor on over 100 patents. He is one of only two individuals to have received both the Jean Leray Award and the George Winter Award, the two prestigious prizes of the European Society for Biomaterials. He was recently appointed Fellow of the Netherlands Academy of Sciences, is Fellow of the Netherlands Academy of Technology and Innovation and Fellow of Biomaterials Science and Engineering.
