About me

  • I am a postdoctoral researcher in the unit of Cardiovascular and Nutritional
    Epidemiology at the Institute of Environmental Medicine (IMM). My background
    is molecular biology and molecular mechanisms of disease, which I studied in
    the Netherlands. My current research is a continuation of my PhD research and
    investigates the impact of a group of environmental pollutants, called
    perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), on cardiovascular disease. Within my
    research we include multi-omics datasets such as genetics, proteins and
    metabolomics to gain insight in potential underlying mechanisms that link
    PFAS exposures to cardiometabolic disturbances.
