A major problem with the use of biomaterials is that infections can occur. Biomedical engineer Moniek Schmitz developed various coatings to stimulate better interaction between the biomaterial and the body's own tissue, but also to prevent bacterial growth. To accelerate the search for the ideal multifunctional biomaterial, she set up a screening method to test as many as hundreds of material combinations simultaneously. Schmitz defended her doctoral thesis at the department of Biomedical Engineering on February 15.
