Fixing bone defects with 'Project Neymar'
Martijn Tibbe and Anne Leferink, visiting researchers working at BIOS Lab-on-a-chip group, are the main people behind Project Neymar. This project focuses on researching and developing a novel class of bone filler materials. 'We essentially aim to create injectable bone cement. We have already developed micro-objects for bone tissue engineering purposes and we are currently running functionality tests in the lab', explains Tibbe.
