My Groups

Biomechanics Laboratory

At the Biomechanics Laboratory we study the effect of mechanical stresses in the cardiovascular system. Our projects focus on the application of biomechanics to investigate the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease and to predict future disease development and cardiovascular events.

Biomedical Engineering

At the crossroads of physics, technology, biology and medicine, we develop technology for insights in cardiovascular disease, and to improve its diagnosis and treatment.
