Curriculum vitae

In 1993 I started as technician in the LUMC (then called AZL) at the transfusion service / blood bank. In 2008 I started as technician in the field of transplantation immunology within the department of Immunohematology. For several years my work has been focused on reproductive immunology in the field of pregnancy, where I collaborate on research projects, mostly to set-up and apply immunohistochemical analyses.
