Within the Advanced Organ Bio-engineering and Therapeutics (AOT), at the University of Twente, The Netherlands, we have a vacancy for a Postdoctoral researcher.

Research description: 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 toxins, leading to high mortality and poor quality of life. Moreover, dialysis therapy requires lots of water. This research project aims to develop new hemodialysis membranes and dialyzers for improved dialysis therapy and to assess their commercial and technological feasibility.
