Recent news

Financial impuls from Regio Deal for recruiting technical talent
UT to develop artificial placenta system in EU project
Yearly, around two million neonatal deaths occur worldwide. In many cases, the deaths occur due to fatal lung failure sometimes combined with kidney failure. Together with partners from academia and industry from the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Ireland and Canada, TechMed researchers Jutta Arens and Dimitrios Stamatialis aim to develop a novel artificial placenta system, the ArtPlac. To do so, they have been awarded an EIC Pathfinder grant.
Rapid production of antibubbles with a jet
UT researchers succeeded in the rapid fabrication of microscopic ‘antibubbles’. Previous methods to produce these liquid droplets surrounded by an air layer were either lack of controllability or prone to clogging and were much slower. The team of researchers recently published their findings in the scientific journal Advanced Materials.
Monica Morales-Masis and Massimo Sartori receive European support to bring research results closer to market
UT researchers Monica Morales-Masis and Massimo Sartori have been awarded a Proof of Concept grant by the European Research Council (ERC). ERC announced the grantees today. ERC Proof of Concept funding is made available only to those who already have an ERC award to establish proof of concept of an idea that was generated in the course of their ERC-funded projects. These research projects often generate radically new ideas that drive innovation and business inventiveness and tackle societal challenges. The ERC PoC Grants aim to facilitate the exploration of commercial and social innovation potential.
Winners of the Pioneers in Health Care Innovation Fund announced
On Thursday 19 January the Pioneers in Health Care Innovation Fund vouchers were awarded to the 11 winning research projects in the eastern region of the Netherlands.
