A.D. van der Meer

A.D. van der Meer is a Full Professor holding appointments at Applied Stem Cell Technologies, MESA+ Institute, and TechMed Centre. His research focuses on advanced biomedical engineering, particularly organ-on-a-chip technologies and microphysiological systems. These innovations aim to revolutionize in vitro disease modeling, drug development, and regulatory science while reducing reliance on animal testing.

His work bridges stem cell technology, vascular biology, and microfluidics to create functional tissue models. Key areas include vascular endothelium studies, thrombosis mechanisms in diseases like COVID-19, and organ-specific systems like retina-on-chip platforms. Collaborations span global experts in tissue engineering and regulatory science.

Dr. van der Meer has supervised 10 academic works, though specific student names are not listed. His contributions to labs like MESA+ and TechMed Centre highlight interdisciplinary research at the intersection of engineering, biology, and medicine.
