TU/e Chemical Engineering and Chemistry

Meet iGEM , a team of 9 students from TU/e working on a new approach to tackle organ rejection after transplantation 🧬

Current treatments suppress the whole immune system, leading to infections and long-term complications, while rejection still remains a major challenge.

Their project explores synthetic receptor-based local immunosuppression 🎯 aiming to target only the transplanted organ, not the entire body.

They’ve recently made to the finals of the TU/e Contest! We wish them the best of luck on their journey!

Lifecode Nutrition is a student startup founded by two brothers with a mission to make athlete nutrition smarter, simpler, and more effective. 🏅🚣

One of the founders, Alexandru Railean, is a first-year Chemical Engineering & Chemistry student at TU/e, applying science and engineering to develop nutrition solutions tailored to athletes.

They’re building precision supplement stacks and an AI-powered nutrition platform to help athletes optimize performance, recovery, and health. 📱

They recently presented their project at the TU/e Contest, showcasing their work alongside other student innovations.

Wishing them the best of luck as they continue developing and scaling the project 🚀

Meet (Powered by Team FLOW), who are now participating in the TU/e contest!

Traditional boat propellers are loud, disrupt marine ecosystems, and physically damage fragile habitats like coral reefs. 🪸🐠

Meet the team behind the project: Francesco, Jaehoon, Doruk, and Daniel are developing a Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) propulsion system to revolutionize marine travel. By using electromagnetic fields instead of propellers, their motor offers a silent, sustainable, sea-life safe alternative to traditional engines.

Good luck!🍀 We’re excited to see what’s ahead!
