About me
- I am an enthusiastic psychiatrist, eager to contribute to team success
through hard work, attention to detail and excellent organizational skills. I
would like to discover the neurobiological background of autism, as well as
improve life quality for people with autism in daily clinical work.
Medical Doctor, Leiden University

Research
- I am studying behavioral phenotypes and neurotransmitter markers for autism,
as measured with positron emission tomography (PET). We are investigating
three hypotheses: changes in the serotonin and glutamate system, and synapse
density. Of which two in a twin design. The studies are part of
AIMS-2-TRIALS, the world’s largest autism research fund.
