Projects
iMPACT-implants, which a total project size of 7.3 MLN EUR, embarks on a multifaceted journey with six interconnected research lines, each addressing critical aspects of medical implant innovation.
New generation of (jaw) implants
We work to improve the entire implant design workflow from patient scans to the placement of an implant according to the highest quality standards.
Tailor-made implant for the treatment of complex bone fractures in seriously injured accident victims
Complete development of the workflow for the design and production of custom-made implants for the treatment of patients with complex bone fractures.
Personalized resection and reconstruction in bone tumor
The project will investigate whether there are possibilities to repair bone defects that lie outside biological repair after tumor, trauma, infection.
3D design and production of personalized medical devices for patients with airway diseases
The aim of the project is to realize innovative, individualized medical devices for patients with respiratory problems using 3D technology.
Personalized triggered release of antimicrobials
We aim to coat central venous catheters with a coating that can release antimicrobials on demand when an infection of the catheter occurs.
Smart patient-specific implants that prevent bone resorption
Developing a computationally efficient framework to generate patient-specific implants by introducing fine-tuned porosity in clinically approved materials.
