Group leader Innovations in Human Health & Life Sciences.
This Chair aims to apply the theory of science education within the context of human health and life sciences.
The research focuses on innovations and didactics in science education, with a special emphasis on pharmaceutical sciences and drug discovery research as embedded within the Amsterdam Institute for Molecules, Medicines and Systems. In order to find optimal learning methods, Jacqueline van Muijlwijk will continue her research on new teaching concepts and innovative learning approaches. The studies do not only lead to new insights and stimulate discussions but can also be implemented in the various study programmes of the faculty. For example, the study programme Pharmaceutical Sciences already implemented several educational innovations and students benefit from the integration of theory and practice. By focusing on the highly innovative field of drug discovery, with many fascinating aspects and as many unanswered questions, we stimulate the enthusiasm and curiosity of science students.
Since September 2023 she has been Chief Education Officer (CEdO) of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
