Speaker: Sabine van Rijt is Professor and Chair of the Instructive Biomaterials Engineering (IBE) department at the MERLN Institute for Technology-Inspired Regenerative Medicine, Maastricht University (The Netherlands). Her research is rooted in the chemical design of inorganic nanomaterials and nanocomposite biomaterials that actively instruct biological systems. She develops multifunctional nanoparticles and nanocomposite matrices (e.g., tracers, coatings, hydrogel building blocks) to control nano-bio interactions, steer stem cell differentiation, promote tissue regeneration, or induce cancer cell death. Sabine is active in several national and international consortia, including NWO Gravitation, SUMMIT, and EU-funded projects. In 2023, she was awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant focusing on responsive biomaterials for hard tissue regeneration and osteosarcoma treatment.
