Organisation

European Society for Artificial Organs (ESAO) 

The European Society for Artificial Organs (ESAO) is a scientific society dedicated to the field of artificial organs and organ replacement therapy. This organization aims to promote scientific progress, research, and the application of artificial organs and other technologies in the field of organ substitution.

ESAO provides a platform for the exchange of knowledge and experiences among professionals from various disciplines, including engineers, medical professionals, biologists, and others involved in the research and development of artificial organs. The society regularly organizes conferences, seminars, and workshops where the latest scientific findings are presented and discussed.

Furthermore, ESAO supports collaboration between researchers, clinics, industry, and other organizations to advance translational research and drive innovative technologies in the field of artificial organs.

University of Twente - TechMed Centre | Advanced Organ Bioengineering and Therapeutics (AOT)

Our mission is to provide innovative technological solutions to patients with chronic and malignant diseases, aiming to improve their quality of life. We are dedicated to educating a new generation of professionals with interdisciplinary knowledge to meet future patient treatment needs.

We achieve our mission by applying cutting-edge technologies at the intersection of chemistry, biomaterials and membrane science, additive manufacturing, biofabrication, tissue engineering, and nanomedicine.
