Jet R. Peters

Jet R. Peters is a Doctoral Candidate (PhD) in the Orthopaedic Biomechanics group at Eindhoven University of Technology, supervised by Keita Ito and Jasper Foolen. Her research is part of the Dutch Gravitation program Materials Driven Regeneration, focusing on collagen architecture growth mechanisms in articular cartilage.

Academic Background:

• BSc in Medical Sciences and Technology from Eindhoven University of Technology (2019)
• MSc in Biomedical Engineering from Eindhoven University of Technology (2023), with a thesis on silk-reinforced hydrogel development for cartilage treatment.
• Internship at the University of Melbourne's Integrative Cartilage Research Group, working on 3D volume extraction of fluorescent matrix in confocal microscopy.

Research Interests: Biomedical Engineering, Orthopaedic Biomechanics, Tissue Engineering, Collagen Architecture, Cartilage Regeneration, and Hydrogel Development.

Recent Research Outputs: Two 2024 publications analyzing collagen fiber alignment in articular cartilage, including a peer-reviewed article in Scientific Reports and a conference poster. Her work explores engineering strategies for cartilage regeneration and extracellular matrix development.

Collaborations: Jet has collaborated with the University of Melbourne's Integrative Cartilage Research Group (Melbourne, Australia).

Research Fingerprint: Her contributions align with the Dutch Gravitation program, emphasizing tissue regeneration engineering, fiber alignment, and organoid development as part of her research themes.
