Application Scientific Image Competition
First and Last Name: Niels Willemen Student/PhD/Postdoc: PhD student Institute: University of Twente Department: Leijten Lab Group leader: Jeroen Leijten Instrument used to produce the image: Zeiss LSM880 A Colourful Cuddle In this experiment, human mesenchymal stem cells (stained with phalloidin) and cell-adhesive microgels (stained with ATTO565 (red) and FITC (green)) self-assembled into a living microtissue. The properties of these cell-adhesive microgels are both physically and chemically tuneable. Moreover, the cell-adhesive microgels are able to direct the behaviour of the cells, for example by influencing cell fate by microgel stiffness.

Biography
I’m a young investor, 33 years old who has studied management, economics and marketing. I have been sporting my whole life. I was one of the 11 members who have been selected to be part of the EADP. European American Football Development Program. A sportprogram to prepare talents to achieve their potential mentally and physically. I've been representing the Netherlands, playing European cups and World cups and have been selected as MVP Europe in my younger years. I’m also an early adopter of cryptocurrencies and very interested in the added value of the blockchain to our society. For a couple of years I started my interest in biomaterials and started researching the potential of artificial technology in sports. I'm exploring the use of biomaterials combined with artificial technology to reach the physical and mental mindset which is needed to achieve the ultimate sportsman.
Interested in biomaterials, ANS, BCI and ML.
Expertise
My expertise are analytics, coaching and sales. I'm reaching to develop ultimate ways of personal coaching to achieve any goal in life. “If you can think it you can achieve it”
