About
Liesbet Geris is a pioneering force at the intersection of computational biology and tissue engineering, with a primary focus on skeletal tissue regeneration. Her research uniquely integrates in silico modeling with advanced biomanufacturing, particularly through the development of automated, robotics-driven platforms for creating cartilaginous microtissues. A key contribution is her work on spheroid-assembly design for endochondral ossification, which has laid the groundwork for engineering functional bone grafts that mimic natural development. Her highly cited 2021 paper on this topic (31 citations) has become a foundational reference in the field. Geris has further advanced the clinical translation of these technologies by demonstrating a robotics-driven manufacturing system for cartilaginous microtissues (2024, 14 citations), showcasing how automation can enhance reproducibility and scalability. Her impact is evident in her leadership of the Prometheus research division at KU Leuven, where she bridges computational predictions with experimental validation. By championing the use of bioreactors and robotic platforms, Geris is not only pushing the boundaries of tissue engineering but also paving the way for cost-effective, standardized production of implantable skeletal tissues.
