Dr. Stefaan W Verbruggen conducted his Ph.D. research in bone cell mechanobiology at the Biomechanics Research Centre at the National University of Ireland Galway, followed by postdoctoral research on how fetal movements affect joint development in the Developmental Biomechanics Lab at Imperial College London. He was then awarded a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Research Fellowship at Queen Mary University of London. Now, Dr. Verbruggen is a Lecturer in Medical Technology at Queen Mary University of London. His research focuses on the mechanobiology of bone cells and developing predictive in vitro models of cancer metastasis. As a Visiting Academic at the INSIGNEO Institute of in silico Medicine, he also builds predictive computational models of the biomechanics of metastatic bone lesions. He is also a member of the U.K. Biomedical Engineering Association, the European Society of Biomechanics, the Orthopaedic Research Society, and the European Association for Cancer Research.
