Marianna A. Tryfonidou PhD

Dr. Tryfonidou specialized in Surgery of companion animals with an intensive 4-year clinical program that was successfully completed with an examination from the European board of specialized veterinary surgeons (ECVS) in 2007. Thereafter, she received a contract to concentrate more on research in combination with clinical work and as of 2010, she is 100% appointed in orthopedic research in the focus field “Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cells” of Utrecht Life Sciences. The all-around clinical and biomedical training dr Tryfonidou received and the in-depth knowledge of developmental biology and pathophysiology of the musculoskeletal system resulted in a combination of skills useful in interdisciplinary research. Even more so, it sets dr Tryfonidou at the crossroad of fundamental, translational research and comparative regenerative medicine.
