Sincere thanks to Associate Professor Duygu Ege from Boğaziçi University for her inspiring talk on 'Eco-conscious hydrogels for applications in bone, skeletal muscle, neural, and cardiac regeneration' at MERLN.

We are happy to announce that Principal Investigator, David Kilian, has received the NWO Veni Grant for his research. This grant will allow him to explore a new research line on #biofabrication and #biomaterials in #cellularagriculture.

Just one more day to go until MERLN’s PhD Day begins! This year’s theme is ‘Combining Knowledge and Building Solutions: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Regenerative Medicine’. We are excited for a day full of inspiring talks, poster presentations, and rapid-fire sessions!

Looking back at an amazing #MERLN PhD Day 2025! Many thanks to the organizing committee for composing such a high-quality program with so many talented researchers. Thank you Sebastien Callens and Elena Della Bella for the inspiring presentations. We are looking forward to the next!

During the #WeekendvandeWetenschap, MERLN opened its lab doors to everyone who curious about science. Visitors could experiment with measuring PH values, 3D printing, and DNA isolation. Many thanks to the team!
