Biography
Nathan obtained his PhD within the Polymer Chemistry and Biomaterials group under the supervision of Prof. Van Vlierberghe at Ghent University. With the topic on liver tissue engineering he could combine his interest in drug development, 3D-printing and material chemistry. He also got introduced in the fascinating field of organoids during research stays at the Roger Williams Institute of Hepatology and the Regenerative Medicine Center of Utrecht University.
Expertise Summary
Polymer Chemistry Biopolymer modifications 3D-printing Liver organoid culture Tissue engineering
Research Summary
In my current reserach I am contributing to the development of an intestinal patch. The main focus is on material development towards 3D-bioprinting of the patch.
Past Research
In my past research I have been developing materials serving liver tissue engineering with a main focus on gelatin-based hybrid hydrogels for the culture of intrahepatic cholangiocyte organoids.
