  Most patients with kidney failure receive dialysis therapy, because of a donor organ shortage. Unfortunately, current filters cannot remove all toxins from patients’ blood, especially protein-bound uremic toxins, leading to high mortality and poor quality of life. Moreover, dialysis therapy requires lots of water.
  This research project aims to establish pilot scale production of hollow fiber membranes and prototype dialyzers for improved dialysis therapy.
  As PhD researcher you will work within a multidisciplinary project which unites expertise from various fields, aiming to improve the quality of life for people in need of organ replacement. It is therefore essential to show willingness to look beyond disciplinary boundaries.
  The project is funded by the NXTGEN Biomed growth fund project on artificial organs.
  NXTGEN aims to develop and produce smart and responsive extracorporeal and implantable artificial organs. To achieve this, it pioneers advanced high-tech building blocks that can be produced both reliably and affordably.
  You will work independently, and you need to have excellent theoretical, experimental, and writing skills. You also expected to write and present excellently in English. You will mentor BSc and MSc students and work collaboratively with multidisciplinary team members.
