Towards the end of last year, the winners of the 16th edition of the Amsterdam Science & Innovation<\/a> Awards (AmSIA) were announced at the NEMO Science Museum.<\/span><\/p>\n

This competition \u2014 hosted by the <\/span>Innovation Exchange Amsterdam (IXA)<\/span><\/a> \u2014 highlights three innovative ideas from the Netherlands each year. These are split into three categories: health, society, and environment & climate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond simply spotlighting the fascinating minds behind these inventions, the event also helps make them a reality. For winners, this not only means a \u20ac10,000 cash prize for funding<\/a>, but also access to a community of experts who can help their growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here at TNW, we\u2019re always excited about what\u2019s at the forefront of European technology, so we spoke to each of the three winners to find out more about their work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Zeliha Guler, PhD, is a senior researcher and Principal Investigator in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Amsterdam UMC.<\/span><\/p>\n

She won the health category at AmSIA for her work on a dissolvable implant for the treatment of Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPOP is a multifactorial disease characterised by the descent of the pelvic floor due to loss of tissue strength, and compromised quality of the extracellular matrix,\u201d Guler tells me.<\/span><\/p>\n

The leading cause of pelvic floor disorders is childbirth, and \u201cthe risk for POP may increase by up to 60% for women who have given birth and those over 50.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
