Prof. Dr. Cees Kleverlaan conducts research into the characteristics and quality of materials that are used in dentistry and healthcare. He is primarily interested in the development of new materials and in predicting the failure of biomaterials, both in a biological and physical sense. Within Oral Regenerative Medicine, he primarily investigates the interaction between molecules and cells on the one hand and biomaterials on the other. Cees is specifically interested in the adverse reactions between these materials and the body. In addition to research, he also provides lectures in the field of Dental Material Sciences within the Dentistry programme at the Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam (ACTA).
