The Heart Foundation has awarded UT researcher Dr. Lennart van de Velde (TechMed Center), who works at Rijnstate Arnhem hospital, a Dekker grant. This is a personal research grant awarded annually to talented scientists.

Thanks to a new technique, neurosurgeons at UMC Utrecht have been able to watch the blood flow in brain tissue live during surgery for the first time.

Last month, Health~Holland announced the results of three years of innovation projects for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This SME Call is an incentive funding program for innovative research by SMEs.

Autistic children experience challenges in interaction with others (parents, teachers, peers). Traditionally this is explained as a 'social disorder'. Supportive technologies often focus on training 'social skills'.

When thinking of technology in healthcare, people often immediately think of medical technology. However, the contribution of the universities of technology – with the 4TU.Health centre as the point of contact – goes much further.

In this STAR interview, we speak to Jutta Arens of the Faculty of Engineering Technology (ET). STAR is an acronym for (S)ituation, (T)asks, (A)ctions, (R)esults. We have many “star” colleagues at UT with interesting stories to tell.

Researchers at Wageningen University & Research (WUR) are contributing to the development of a new vaccine designed to provide broad protection against several deadly filoviruses, such as Ebola and Marburg.

The University of Twente is introducing its first MDR-compliant open-source medical device: the 3d base plate. This open-source initiative provides an alternative route to low-risk medical devices that are not commercially viable.

It is crucial to closely monitor the circulatory system of critically ill patients because proper blood flow is needed to supply all organs with oxygen.

Researchers from TU/e, Máxima MC, and The Gate are setting up a company together with TU/e for medical equipment for premature children.

Thanks to a clever modification of the baculovirus, vaccines can now be produced in insect cells more easily and cleaner. Researchers at Wageningen University & Research (WUR) have successfully developed vaccine material without baculovirus.

TU/e researchers are working with partners on the Hybrid Heart: a soft robotic heart that should eventually be able to attract the body's own cells to prevent rejection and complications.

The trick to temper your sweet tooth by temporarily cutting down on sugar and sweeteners does not seem to work after all.

NutriProfiel celebrates its tenth anniversary at the end of May. This innovative collaboration between Ziekenhuis Gelderse Vallei (ZGV) and Wageningen University & Research (WUR) links blood tests to personal nutritional advice.

"You're crazy." "Why would you do that?!" "Unbelievable..." That's what Steven van Roon, founder of Mission I.A.M. and manager of the Robotics Centre at the University of Twente, is often told when he shares his plan.
