Jeroen Vollenbroek

Jeroen Vollenbroek is an Assistant Professor affiliated with the University Medical Center Utrecht (Department of Nephrology and Hypertension) and the University of Twente (BIOS Lab-on-a-Chip group). His work bridges biomedical engineering and electrocatalysis to advance regenerative medicine technologies.

His educational background includes a BSc and MSc in Electrical Engineering from the University of Twente (2016), specializing in microtechnology and Lab-on-a-Chip systems, followed by a joint PhD from the University of Twente (BIOS Lab-on-a-Chip group) and Utrecht University (Inorganic Chemistry and Catalysis) in 2020.

Vollenbroek's research focuses on developing artificial kidney technologies, particularly electrocatalytic systems for urea oxidation to improve dialysate regeneration, enabling wearable devices. His expertise spans Lab-on-a-Chip platforms, microreactor design, and biomedical device innovation.

He is part of the Artificial Kidney Innovation Lab, contributing to regenerative medicine and stem cell research through translational technologies. His work emphasizes bridging bench-to-bedside through testing facilities for rapid prototyping and clinical validation of artificial kidney systems.
