We proudly introduce our new professor at the Dept. of Dentistry. His research focuses on regenerative biomaterials.
In 2001 Sander Leeuwenburgh (Gouda, 1977) received his Master’s degree (cum laude) in Materials Science and Engineering from Delft University of Technology. In the same year he started his doctoral research at the Department of Dentistry of Radboud university medical center. He also studied piano at the Conservatory of Music in Arnhem, where he received a Master’s degree in 2005 (cum laude). In 2006 he obtained his PhD degree (cum laude) at Radboud University on the application of bioceramic coatings onto bone-substituting implants.
Leeuwenburgh was visiting scholar at Rice University in Houston (USA) and Kyoto University in Kyoto (Japan). Since 2006 he has been appointed at the Department of Dentistry of Radboud university medical center, initially as postdoc and subsequently as assistant and associate professor.
