Appointed as associate professor Immunology and head of the ImmunoSerology laboratory at the University Medical Center Utrecht. Main research interests include the immunological risk assessment in kidney transplantation and improving diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune diseases and allergies. Leads two sequential national consortium studies with all Dutch University Medical Centers, aiming to define the impact of humoral allo- and auto-immunity in >15.000 kidney transplantations. In close collaboration with clinicians, more than 7 million euro’s for research funding has been acquired in the last six years, and (co-) authorship in >140 peer-reviewed papers with translational objectives.
