Daniëlle C.A. Duffhues

Daniëlle C.A. Duffhues is a Researcher in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology. Her work focuses on microscale engineering and cell-matrix interactions in cardiovascular tissue regeneration.

Her research leverages ultrasound-phased arrays for dynamic patterning of living cells, aiming to advance regenerative therapies for infarcted heart tissue. She explores the interplay between substrate stiffness and cardiomyocyte function, combining biomechanical modeling with cell-based applications.

Duffhues' recent publication in Advanced NanoBiomed Research highlights her contributions to ultrasound-driven cell manipulation. Her academic journey includes supervision by Prof. V. Conte and Dr. L. Hermans during her Master's thesis work on cardiomyocyte contractility.
