University of Canterbury/Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Musculoskeletal Medicine

• Christchurch, New Zealand

• Internship at the Orthopaedic department

  • Sep 2008 - Feb 2009

  Subject: Cartilage production on PEGT/PBT channeled scaffolds in a perfusion bioreactor system During this internship a protocol for seeding of articular chondrocytes at a high local cell density on PEGT/PBT scaffolds was set-up. Furthermore, subsequent culture of these constructs was performed in order to produce cartilaginous tissue.

University of Twente

• Enschede Area, Netherlands

• Master thesis at the Tissue Regeneration department

  • Sep 2007 - Feb 2008

  Subject: Bone from unprocessed (human) bone marrow cultivated on scaffolds in a bioreactor and the effect of low oxygen tension on the proliferation and differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells. The subject of this thesis is two-fold. Unprocessed human bone marrow aspirates were seeded onto BCP particles and cultivated in a bioreactor to see if this gave better bone formation then 2D cultivated hMSCs. Also the effect of different oxygen levels on the proliferation and differentiation of hMCSs was investigated. The hypothesis was that low oxygen levels inhibit differentiation, but stimulate proliferation of hMSCs Show less
