Jan joined the institute of biomedical sciences in 2019 to investigate how biomaterials can be used to drive stem cell behavior. His research involves understanding the molecular interactions of stem cells with artificial (3D printed) extracellular matrix and how these systems can be designed to stimulate targeted differentiation. He is also interested in studying molecular signaling networks in cancer cells using multi-omics approaches to discover novel predictive biomarkers and develop targeted (personalized) therapies. He holds an MSc in Biotechnology and Business from Oxford Brookes University and a PhD in Biomedical Sciences from Luxembourg University.
