Personal information

Please check my website for the focus of my research, recent papers, as well as internship eligibility and application procedure: https://mcn.cncr.nl/research_teams/animal_models_of_psychiatric_disease/

Research

The focus of my team is on cognition and how it is affected by neuropsychiatric ailments, such as depression. We study maladaptation of synapses and circuitry brought about by unique molecular signatures in hippocampus and prefrontal cortex.

Teaching

Apart from contributions to several courses (BSc and MSc level), as well as guest lectures at other institutions, I am course coordinator and teacher in the Human Development course of P4 in the Bsc Biomedical Science curriculum in year 1. Although it is not entirely related to my own specialization, topics like embryology and teratology, as well as organ development, have taught me a lot on important steps in (neuro)development at the molecular level.

I love accompanying students on their journey into the fascinating world of science.
