Dr. Verdurmen’s research interests deal with designing nature-inspired drug carriers that overcome delivery barriers, employing synthetic binding proteins that can target tissue- or cell-specific receptors or intracellular targets. For this, he utilizes novel tumor-on-a-chip approaches that can mimic physiological barriers that drugs encounter in vivo. Dr. Verdurmen received his master’s degree in Biomedical Sciences cum laude in 2008 from the Radboud University, and in 2012 he received his PhD degree cum laude from the same university.
