Associate Professor, Head Lab Experimental Nephrology

As immunologist and experimental pathobiologist my main interests are cell biological aspects of progressive kidney function loss. In our research lab, we perform basic and translational studies using combinations of renal cell cultures, rodent models and human samples and data files. We try to unravel the interplay of renal endothelial and epithelial cell injury with immune responses and extracellular matrix remodelling, aiming at rationalized therapeutic interventions in order to slow down loss of renal function. The employees in the lab are a mixture of Dutch and international investigators, usually with a number of undergraduated students. We collaborate with (inter)national groups.
