Biography

Chris Arts is a Full Professor of Translational Biomaterials at the Eindhoven University of Technology, leading the Orthopaedic Biomechanics research group in collaboration with Maastricht University Medical Centre. His clinical research emphasizes translational biomaterials aimed at addressing delayed bone healing, infection treatment, and spine deformity correction. His work involves mechanical and biological assessments of biomaterials to evaluate their safety and efficacy in performance and their longitudinal metabolic changes within the body. His expertise includes high-resolution imaging and computational modeling, focusing on the analysis and validation of biomaterials' incorporation into host tissues during remodeling and resorption phases. His goal is to bridge the gap between biomaterials and medicine, enhancing clinical imaging and materials engineering research. Arts completed his Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy at Saxion Hogeschool in 1997, followed by a Master’s in Human Movement Science at Maastricht University. He earned his PhD from Radboud University Nijmegen in 2005 with a thesis on 'New developments in Bone Impaction Grafting' and has since held various academic roles, including Clinical Research Manager at Stryker and Associate Professor at Maastricht University.
