Who we are
BIOART is a training network. Its aim is to develop innovative (bio)-artificial devices for the treatment of kidney and liver diseases.
The project gives 11 PhD students and 5 Post-doc researchers the opportunity to carry out individual projects and gain experience by working abroad in partner academic institutions and companies.

What BIOART is about
One line of research focuses on improving the ability of artificial and bioartificial kidney devices to remove uremic toxins from blood. To this end, 2 prototypes will be developed. A second line of research focuses on developing prototype bio-reactors ensuring the viability and functionality of liver cells.

HIGHLIGHT - Living Membrane Developed: Closer to Developing a Bioartificial Kidney
The BIOART researchers are proud to announce that they have developed a key component needed to create a bioartificial kidney.
Research is getting one step closer to replacing dialysis by a bioartificial kidney. A key component needed in a bioartificial kidney is a “living membrane” and this is just what Prof. Stamatialis, Prof Masereeuw and their colleagues managed to achieve. Their results were presented during Kidney Week, in Chicago, USA, in November 2016.
