Can AI learn a surgeon’s intuition?Researchers from HealthTech Nexus, a collaboration between the University of Twente and Radboud University Medical Centre, are investigating whether artificial intelligence (AI) can learn something that experienced surgeons often do instinctively: estimate tissue tension during surgery. If successful, AI could help surgeons further improve their surgical techniques and potentially reduce complications.Read more
UT develops new heart-on-a-chip model for inherited heart disease PLNThe Applied Stem Cell Technologies research group, led by Prof. Robert Passier and part of the University of Twente’s Department of Bioengineering Technologies, has received funding for BEAT-PLN. This research programme aims to accelerate the development of new treatments for PLN-R14del cardiomyopathy. This inherited heart muscle disease is caused by a mutation in the phospholamban (PLN) gene and can lead to severe cardiac arrhythmias, heart failure and sudden cardiac death. Within BEAT-PLN, the University of Twente is collaborating with PLaN Therapeutics on a project with a total value of €900,000.Read more
