Jeroen Voorham trained as an Aerospace Engineer at the Delft University of Technology. He is currently studying a PhD at the Leiden University Medical Center and the University Hospital of Antwerp investigating the electrical signals produced by muscles in the pelvic floor.

In 2013 he founded Novuqare and in partnership with industrial designer Fiebke Op de Macks has developed MAPLe, the first clinically certified device that can differentiate between the individual muscles within the pelvic floor. It was launched on the Belgian market in 2015.

Rui Reis is Professor of Tissue Engineering, Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cells at the University of Minho in Portugal and directs the 3B’s Research Group (Biomaterials, Biodegradables and Biomimetics). He is also CEO of the European Institute of Excellence on Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (TERM).

His research focuses on creating biomaterials from naturally occurring polymers. His 3B’s Group work with materials such as bone marrow, umbilical cord, amniotic and embryonic stem cells to engineer tissues such as bone, cartilage, skin, and neurological tissue. His research has been cited more than 19000 times and in 2016 he was awarded membership of the USA National Academy of Engineering.

Janos Voros is Professor in the Institute for Biomedical Engineering at ETH Zurich and leads the Laboratory for Biosensors and Bioelectronics. He studied Physics and Biophysics at Eotvos Lorand University in Budapest and is interested in the research areas of Biosensors, Bioelectronics, Nano-Biotechnology, Biomaterials and Neurosciences with a special passion for the molecular and cellular processes at biological interfaces.

Much of his work focuses on novel biosensor techniques for diagnostics and drug discovery, using nanobiotechnology for interfacing neural networks, and implanted stretchable electronic devices.
