SLUIJTER LAB
Experimental Cardiology Laboratory
Regenerative Medicine Center Utrecht and Circulatory Health Laboratory
University Medical Center Utrecht, University Utrecht, The Netherlands
The Sluijter lab is a multi-disciplinary research team that focuses on stimulating cardiac repair upon myocardial damage. With technologies, ranging from molecular insights, advanced multi-cellular cell models, and clinically relevant animal models, they try to understand the pathophysiologic mechanisms, enhance delivery technologies and stimulate the heart towards a more regenerative state.
