BiS is part of the Biomedical Engineering Department at TU/e. Research at BiS is dedicated to understanding and applying basic cell biological principles at the biointerfaces especially for regenerative medicine. The research program is characterized by a holistic approach to both discovery and application, aiming at combining high throughput technologies, computational modeling and experimental cell biology to streamline the wealth of biological knowledge to real clinical applications.
Cell biology, computational approaches, and material development are the three key fields of science that we focus our research on at BiS. To find out more, have a look here:

On Sunday 5 September, we started the academic year with an overnight bootcamp for the Digital Twins in Health course at camping ‘t Denneke in Veldhoven. Forty five second year TU/e bachelor students participated in games, an information market, a BBQ, camp fire and most importantly, learned about the course structure. Students formed teams, and picked and pitched their medical challenges. The teams will work for half a year to engineer digital twin solutions to problems such as anterior cruciate ligament regeneration, heart arrythmia, type-2 diabetes, scoliosis and catheter-blood vessel interaction.
