معرفی
Dimitrios Stamatialis is a Full Professor in Advanced Organ Bioengineering and Therapeutics at the TechMed Centre, University of Twente. His work bridges engineering, medicine, and biology to develop next-generation bioartificial organs and in vitro models for therapeutic applications.
His research focuses on membrane engineering, organ-on-chip systems, and bioartificial kidney development. He investigates how engineered tissues and selective membranes can replicate organ function, particularly for detoxification and filtration in renal failure. His team develops innovative platforms such as bioengineered kidney tubules and lung-on-chip models using biomimetic materials and microfluidics.
The recent publications highlight a trajectory toward implantable and wearable artificial organs, sustainable dialysis aligned with environmental policies, and advanced in vitro models for drug testing and disease study. His interdisciplinary approach integrates tissue engineering, materials science, and clinical nephrology.
Scientific Awards:
- 1e Prijs: 'UT IN DE MEDIA' (2017)
- Best Talk Prize, Lacktagung Conference (2016)
- Second Poster Prize, ESAO Winter School (2011)
He has delivered numerous invited talks on enabling technologies for bioartificial organs and membrane innovations in dialysis. While specific grant details are not listed, his extensive research output and leadership in the TechMed Centre suggest active funding in bioengineering and regenerative medicine. He supervises research projects and collaborates widely across Europe in nephrology and biomedical engineering networks.
His lab contributes significantly to the development of biohybrid devices and participates in shaping policy through alliances like the European Kidney Health Alliance.
