Tamar Veninga, BSc.
Master student Science and Business management (UU)
Education and research project
Tamar is a master student Science and Business management form Utrecht University. For her master internship under the supervision of Jeroen Vollenbroek. During her internship, she will investigate the influence of different factors on the water reabsorption process that is required for a bioartificial kidney, in order to create a better understanding of this process. For this, I will use a previously developed organ-on-a-chip device to culture ciPTEC cels.
Eva Visser, BSc.
Master student medical school (Radboud University)
Education and research project
Eva is currently in her final year of medical school at the Radboud University. During this three-month internship, she will focus on the environmental impact of kidney transplantation surgery. Under the supervision of Sjoerd Verbakel, she will carry out an LCA in which we will calculate the environmental impact as comprehensively as possible using software tools.
