Valorization

Our excellent research in Biomedical Engineering with clinical relevance has a great impact on healthcare and (inter)national society as a whole. The fundamental research, applied research and translation to start-ups and incubators go hand in hand. Together they create the ecosystem needed to bring fundamental research, concept development and application to the next level.

Our well-educated alumni are an important part of the impact of our department of Biomedical Engineering. With their work in industry, research institutes, educational organizations and governmental organizations all over the world, they spread the knowledge and passion that was fostered at our department.

Contributing to healthcare and society is what drives all of our staff members, and we like to share this enthusiasm with society as a whole. Giving public lectures, speaking up in press, being visible on social media, participating in tv programs and podcasts are all examples of how we aim to share the amazing research and education of Biomedical Engineering with the world.

Cooperation with industry & medical centres

Many of the research projects of this faculty are in close cooperation with various Academic Medical Centres, both inside The Netherlands and abroad (a.o. the Maastricht University). There is also a lot of company involvement, e.g. with Philips, Fujifilm, DSM and our spin-offs and start-ups.

Spin-offs

To enhance the impact of our research on society, the department is increasingly focusing on promoting research valorization. Therefore, we follow an active policy of initiating, accommodating and supporting spin-offs companies and student teams. Within the Department of Biomedical Engineering a lot of successful spin-offs have started up in recent years (in alphabetical order):

UPyTher

UPyTher鈥檚 mission is to provide custom drug delivery solutions that enable sustained localized administration of therapeutics.

The student teams

In addition to initiating, accommodation and supporting spin-off companies, creative student teams have emerged from it:

Podcast: Bewaren we straks al onze data op moleculen?

"We verzamelen steeds meer data, die allemaal ergens opgeslagen moeten worden. Maar er zijn zorgen over de hoeveelheid energie die dat kost en of er wel genoeg grondstoffen zijn om opslagapparaten te maken. Gelukkig wordt er aan een alternatief gewerkt: het opslaan van data op moleculen, zoals DNA. ... " Een podcast van Eveline Meijer van AG Connect met dr. Steven Martens van de Universiteit Gent en professor Tom de Greef van de 果冻传媒 en de Radboud Universiteit.

ICMS Animation studio

Since the (atomic) scale and dynamic nature of molecular systems cannot be easily captured in illustrations, the 果冻传媒 Institute for Complex Molecular Systems has initiated its Animation Studio.
