Biography

Roelie Wösten-van Asperen  is a pediatric-intensivist at the PICU of the Wilhelmina Children’s Hospital in Utrecht. She started her fellowship in pediatric intensive care in 2002. After finalization of her fellowship, she has been a consultant pediatric intensivist in the Emma Children’s Hospital/Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam. In 2011, she defended her thesis ‘The role of the renin-angiotensin system in acute lung injury’ at the University of Amsterdam.

After almost 15 years (in January 2016), she moved from the PICU of the Emma Children’s Hospital to the PICU of the Wilhelmina Children’s Hospital in Utrecht. Together with Prof. Marry van den Heuvel of the Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology, she started a research group on pediatric cancer patients at the PICU.

She is currently chair of the PICU Oncology Kids in Europe Research group (POKER), a research consortium comprising of 21 PICU’s which are adhered to large pediatric oncological centers in 11 different countries (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and the UK). Our mission is to improve our understanding and our ability to appropriately treat these patients, thereby improving outcomes of children with cancer who are admitted to the PICU.
