Dr. ir. Dylan Mostert has graduated in Biomedical Engineering with a specialization in Soft Tissue Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology. During her master, she performed her graduation project at the National University of Galway, Ireland, investigating the interplay between Notch signaling and mechanosensing in cardiomyocytes derived from induced pluripotent stem cells.

She then pursued a PhD in Soft Tissue Engineering and Mechanobiology at Eindhoven, where she gained extensive experience in developing human in vitro models of varying complexities to study cardiac cell mechanobiology. Her research primarily focused on  unraveling the mechanisms governing the structural organization of the myocardium.

Following her PhD, Dylan joined the Developmental Cardiovascular Biology lab of prof. Jonathan Butcher at Cornell University. There, she explored the mechanobiological factors driving the development of structural anisotropy in the myocardium of chicken embryos.
