NWO Open Competition Domain Science – XS grant for Silvia Mihăilă on bioartificial kidney
Silvia Mihăilă (Utrecht University) received an NWO Open Competition Domain Science – XS grant entitled ‘MAKING WAVES: A modeling-driven microfluidic device with wave configurations to evaluate solutes removal for bioartificial kidney applications’ With the loss of kidney function, the removal of unwanted solutes becomes inefficient. Bioartificial kidney (BAK), an extension to current dialysis therapy, aims at using specialized cells to cover hollow fiber membranes as functional units of a device to remove solutes not eliminated by conventional dialysis. By applying a highly multidisciplinary approach, we will use the experimental data and in silico numerical modeling to predict BAK performance. Iteratively,...

9th hDMT theme group: Kidney-on-Chip
A good start of the New Year! Another new hDMT theme group has been established and will kick-off on March 16th 2023: Kidney-on-Chip. Coordinators are Silvia Mihăilă (chair, Utrecht University) and Jitske Jansen (vice-chair, Erasmus MC). Aim of the Kidney-on-Chip theme group is to bring together hDMT members focusing on kidney disease models, kidney regeneration and kidney in vitro models for drug screening. This working group aims to promote interaction, share knowledge, and provide opportunities for collaboration. By sharing expertise and facilities, this working group will advance the development of functional human kidney organoids (for health and disease). These systems...

Kick-off meeting hDMT Bone-on-Chip meeting was a real eye-opener
On December 7th 2022 the brand new hDMT Bone-on-Chip theme group meeting kicked off in Amsterdam. After an overview of the challenges and opportunities in the Bone-on-Chip field by the coordinators Nathalie Bravenboer (chair, Amsterdam UMC) and Liliana Moreira Texeira (vice-chair, UTwente) there were inspiring talks of researchers from different hDMT partner organizations. Looking behind the scenes of the many research groups was a real eye-opener for the participants and already led to new collaborations and stronger existing relationships. All in all a useful start of the hDMT Bone-on-Chip community.
