Dr. Liliana Moreira Teixeira Leijten serves as Associate Professor at the Department of Bioengineering Technologies within the Faculty of Science and Technology at the University of Twente, and is affiliated with the TechMed Center. She co-founded and co-leads the Organ-on-Chip center Twente (OoCCT), holds board membership in the European Organ-on-Chip Society (EUROoCS), and co-coordinates the bone-on-chip group for human Organ and Disease Model Technologies (hDMT). Her educational background includes: BSc in Applied Biology (University of Minho, Portugal), specializing in immunology MSc in Biomedical Engineering (Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, Portugal) PhD in Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (University of Twente, 2011) Dr. Leijten's research pioneers human multi-organ microphysiological systems to model organ communication, mechanobiological responses, and inflammatory disease processes. Her work integrates biomimetic biomaterials with engineered microsystems for advanced organ-on-chip assembly, enabling precise disease modeling and drug testing applications. Her scientific contributions have been recognized through: Young Investigator Award by Cells Tissues Organs NWO-Women in Stem NWO-Aspasia She actively mentors through her Targeted Microphysiological Systems research group while serving on institutional committees including the University of Twente's Ethics Committee (as vice-chair) and Biomedical Engineering Education Program Committee. Her grant portfolio includes NWO-funded initiatives supporting her organ-on-chip innovations. Dr. Leijten leads the Organ-on-Chip center Twente (OoCCT) and collaborates with the European Organ-on-Chip Society, driving interdisciplinary teams focused on scaling microphysiological systems for clinical translation.
