Independent journalism at the University of Twente
Biomedical researcher Jojanneke Jukes recently had a ground breaking discovery in the lab. While conducting an experiment, where she implanted cartilage tissue into mice, she discovered to her astonishment, the cartilage grew into bone. Her research results seem to offer a promising method to replace damaged bones in the human body.
In recent years, the peeked interest in embryonic stem cell research has attracted the interest of scientists in the field of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Future research efforts in tissue engineering could ultimately lead to a reduced use of artificial prosthetics and help repair bone defects.
Jojanneke will defend her dissertation on October 22 at the Faculty of Science and Technology.
The eighth edition of the 4TU Career Special is out! This week, twelve thousand copies will land on the doormats of an equal number of alumni from the four technical universities. A special feature of this publication is the COMMIT insert of the Materiel and IT Command of the Ministry of Defence.
You’ll also find stories about alumni and start-up entrepreneurs. The opening article focuses on the national alumni survey, and you can read tips and tricks on salary negotiations.
