Biography
I am a researcher of health economics at the department of Epidemiology and Health Economics at the Julius Center, UMCU. In general and since the start of my scientific career, my research focusses on early health economic evaluations. Currently my research focusses on the methodology of early health economic analyses alongside early phase adaptive trials within Oncode Accelerator. Next to my work at Oncode Accelerator, I am involved in several health economic evaluation projects in oncology. Previously I was involved in The Healthcare Innovation Center (THINC) at the Julius Center as a researcher in health economic evaluations.
I completed my master of sciences in Health Sciences at the University of Twente. I conducted the research for my thesis at the Netherlands Cancer Institute Antoni van Leeuwenhoek (NKI-AVL) in Amsterdam focussing on the health technology assessment of HIPEC added to cytoreductive surgery in patients with state III ovarian cancer. Before starting my masters I completed my bachelor of science in Health Sciences at the University of Twente as well. My bachelorthesis was about the diagnositc properties of enzym based diagnostics in diabetic foot ulcers.
