About Me
Sem Bertelink started studying Biomedical Engineering in 2017 at the University of Twente. In 2020, Sem continued studying in the master's program, specializing in BioEngineering Technologies. During his master's, Sem went to Toulouse (France), to follow an internship at LAAS-CNRS under the supervision of Dr. Laurent Malaquin and Dr.Ir. Bastien Venzac. During his internship, he was working on reproducing the extracellular matrix for intestine epithelium reconstruction by using two-photon lithography. He did his master's thesis at the research group ‘Applied Microfluidics for BioEngineering Research’ (AMBER), focusing on creating a 3D-printed monolithic oviduct-on-chip model. During his master's thesis, Sem was working with 3D-printing (stereolithography), monocytic cell lines, as well as bovine/porcine gametes, and employed cytocompatibility assays and standard CASA assay to evaluate the influence of 3D printed materials on monocytic cells and sperm. He obtained his master’s degree in July 2023 and started working as a researcher at AMBER in October 2023. He is currently working on a gut-on-chip model for validation of oral delivery of vaccines, in collaboration with Ionovation GmbH (Germany).
