About E. (Elias) Salzer, PhD
Introduction
I completed my PhD in 2023 and continued my research on the intervertebral disc as a Postdoc researcher in the group of Prof. Keita Ito at the TU Eindhoven. In 2024 I started as a postdoc researcher in the group of Prof. Gerjo van Osch in the LoaD project LOAD-project where I am investigating the (mechanobiological) effects of loading on cartilage to answer the question: what is “healthy loading” for patients with osteoarthritis?
