Cardiovascular Regenerative Medicine
Cardiovascular regenerative medicine integrates research (both basic and applied) and patient care for regenerative medicine. We explore strategies to enhance efficacy, including potent cell types, cell less cell therapy approaches (e.g. miRNA, exosomes treatment), the smart use of biomaterials, and novel delivery strategies using state-of-the-art image fusion.
The translational axis drives our work. To this end, we utilize the abundant experience of the UU animal facility with a strong collaboration between the Hubrecht lab and the TU/e (Technical University, Eindhoven, NL). This creates an effective cross-pollination between the strategic programs of the UMC Utrecht namely Circulatory Health and Regenerative Medicine.
