CardioVascular Biomechanics Lab golden opportunity for engineers, physicians and patients alike

Erasmus Medical Center Cardiologists, neurologists and radiologists have joined forces with TU Delft scientists and students. Within the CardioVascular Biomechanics Lab (CVBL), they research heart and blood vessels biomechanics, unlocking synergies that can accelerate the development and implementation of technological innovations. The first results have already emerged.
