Program manager
As a program manager at the UMC Utrecht Brain Center, I coordinate strategic research initiatives and foster collaboration between neuroscientists, clinicians, and partners to advance brain research. I organize key events, align research priorities, and help translate scientific insights into societal impact. In addition to my work at the UMC Utrecht Brain Center, I dedicate part of my time to coordinating the National Growth Fund program for Animal-free Biomedical Translations, which aims to bridge the gap between lab-based discoveries and patient treatments. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can combine my strategic thinking, operational precision, organizational skills and human connection to foster innovation in research and healthcare. My mission is to empower researchers and streamline collaboration, ultimately to improve lives through science
