Clemens A. van Blitterswijk (1957, The Hague) is a Dutch scientist in tissue engineering, a field that aims to replace or regenerate diseased or damaged tissues through a combination of biology and engineering. He has contributed to the use of synthetic biomaterials to heal bone injuries, especially to an approach termed osteoinduction that aims at designing biomaterials that trigger the surrounding cells to form new bone tissue in vivo. One example of this contribution to osteoinduction is a paper published in collaboration with Joost de Bruijn and Huipin Yuan. Following other laboratories, and in collaboration with Jan de Boer, Hemant Unadkat, and others he has contributed to applying high-throughput screens to select biomaterials, an approach termed materiomics. The scientific publications that include him as an author can be found here.
