My research focusses on regenerative medicine and surgery, peripheral nerve surgery and minimally invasive hand surgery (ultrasound-guided and arthroscopic). My clinical work is primarily based at Goed Medisch Centrum Breda. A key part of my practice is the use of regenerative therapies for osteoarthritis and peripheral nerve problems where I apply advanced treatments such as adipose tissue–based therapies, stem cell–derived products and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). These minimally invasive approaches aim to stimulate the body’s own repair mechanisms and restore function. In addition to clinical practice, I am actively involved in research both at Goed Medisch Centrum Breda and at the University Medical Center Utrecht (UMC Utrecht) within the RESTORE group (Regenerative Surgery & Therapy for Optimized Relief of Neuropathic Pain) a collaboration between Breda and Utrecht.
I am also co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Matritech, a university spin-off located at the TU/e Campus Eindhoven at Smart Biomaterials Consortium (SBMC). At Matritech, we develop advanced regenerative therapies aimed at restoring tissues and nerves.
