Current research
Materiobiology and Nanobiomaterials
Patrick van Rijn his research interests are developing new dynamic biointerfaces in order to understand the relationship between material properties and cellular behavior. For this purpose, his group developed high-throughput technologies to investigate surface parameter dependent biological phenomena but also created novel coating approaches and delivery strategies using nanohydrogels. The research that is conducted in his group is both of fundamental and applied character with strong connections to the clinic and industry.
Patrick has been the chair of the Netherlands Society for Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering (NBTE), program leader for the research program “Nanobiotechnology and advanced therapeutic materials”, topical editor biomedical polymer for the open access journal Polymers (MPDI), and Guest editor for Polymers, Bioactive Materials, and Tissue Engineering A.
