Dr. Sandra Hofmann is an Associate Professor in Bioengineering Bone at the Orthopaedic Biomechanics research group at Eindhoven University of Technology. Dr. Hoffmann obtained her masters in Pharmaceutical Sciences from the University of Basel, Switzerland in 2002, then achieved her Ph.D. with distinctions at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in 2007, studying "Silk fibroin as a biomaterial for drug delivery and tissue engineering". Dr. Hofmann specializes in creating a human cell-based, functional, 3D in vitro model of bone which allows for studying interactions between various environmental factors and their effects on the cells. Additionally, these models can be used for studying the interactions between various cell types with bone and also differences between cells from various donors.
