With a PhD in both bio-engineering and medicine, Patricia Dankers (born 1978) discovered the value of collaboration between chemists and physicians. Her research group attempts to apply the results of basic research in practical patient applications. At the moment she is focusing on developing supramolecular biomaterials that can be used in regenerative medicine. Dankers was a member of the very first Young Health Council [Jonge Gezondheidsraad] and has authored chapters for primary school textbooks.
