Utrecht Science Week: take a look in the hospital of the future on Tuesday 1 October
Imagine a world where there is no shortage of donor organs and where organs damaged by injury, disease, wear and tear or bad genes can be repaired by using the body's own cells. It sounds like future music, but reality is closer than you think. Discover how diseases can be treated with your own cells and be surprised by the latest science and exciting demonstrations at the ‘Ziekenhuis van de Toekomst’ (Dutch) on Tuesday 1 October.
The ‘Ziekenhuis van de Toekomst’ programme includes various lectures and demonstrations by doctors and scientists.
There are lectures on various topics, including bodily cartilage cells that help with osteoarthritis, the importance of stem cells, curing metabolic diseases and the cost of healthcare innovations.
You can also watch demonstrations of, for example, 3D printing of living cells for the development of implants for joint damage and wear, customised medicine: what works for patients and what doesn't, or talk with experts about regenerative medicine.
But there is more! Click here for the full programme, with information on all lectures and demonstrations. You can also register there.
