Research

As a research technician in the T cell regulation group/Arens lab I am involved in projects targeted to examine the underlying mechanisms of cell-mediated immunity against cancer and infection. I use molecular and cellular techniques to analyze immune responses ex vivo and in vivo.

Curriculum Vitae

I obtained my Bachelor degree in Life Science at Hogeschool Leiden in 2018. During my Bachelor, I performed an internship at the LUMC in the Department of Ophthalmology. In 2019 I started working as a technician at the Centre for Human Drug Research. After four years I decided it was time for a new challenge and received a position in the T cell regulation group in May 2023.
