Funding Advisor and Project Manager Profile
Funding Advisor and Project Manager

As a project manager, I like working together with researchers to find the best funding fit for their ideas and think with them to bring their project proposals to a higher level. After receiving my PhD in Evolutionary Genetics in 2009 from the University of Groningen, I worked as postdoc at the Cardiology Department of the UMCG, doing research on the genetic and epigenetic background of heart failure and related phenotypes. Since 2016 I have been working as a project manager and funding advisor at several UMCG departments and at the UMCG Research BV. This has helped me gain experience in guiding researchers towards a successful project.
