Biography

Carlijn Bouten is professor of Cell-Matrix Interactions at the department Biomedical Engineering of the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). She was trained in functional anatomy and biomechanics, as well as exercise physiology, at the department of Human Movement Sciences, VU Amsterdam (MSc 1991), and obtained her PhD degree in 1995 from the TU/e. She performed postdoctoral research at the Université Laval (Quebec), Queen Mary University London, and Eindhoven University of Technology. In 1998 she became assistant professor in Cellular Biomechanics in the department of Mechanical Engineering, TU/e, and in 2002 she became associate professor of Tissue Engineering in the department of Biomedical Engineering, TU/e.  Her current research focuses on cell-matrix interactions for cardiovascular regeneration, with special emphasis on the mechanoregulation of growth, differentiation, adaptation and remodeling. She uses ‘living’ model systems at different length scales (cell, cell-matrix, engineered tissue, native tissue) to quantify these aspects, preferably in real-time. In 2002 she was awarded by the NWO-Aspasia program and in 2003 she received a NWO-Vici grant for her research on skeletal muscle and heart valve tissue engineering, respectively. From 2005-2010 she was member of the 'The Young Academy' of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.
