Research

My research focusses on the dynamic interactions between fungi and bacteria in the oral cavity. Using complex in vitro models I aim to unravel the effect of fungi on the commensal and pathogenic oral microflora.Interactions with the hard and soft host-tissues are important in  these studies.

I hold a Senior Teaching Qualification and am the responsible coordinator for Academic Skill development. We aim to strengthen all academic skils of our students including bildung. In addition I teach basis microbiology and cariology at ACTA and fundamentals of biofilm (infections) at the VU, AMC and University of Utrecht.
