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.

"UNCONDITIONAL COOPERATION IS CRUCIAL FOR BETTER INNOVATIONS"

"THE 'HEART COLLECTIVE' IS MULTIDISCIPLINARY"

"NATURAL PROCESSES CAN TEACH US HOW TO USE THEM OPTIMALLY"

"SCIENTIFIC PLANNING CAN BE A DEATH BLOW FOR TRUE "INNOVATION"
