My research focuses on thymus sero-immunology, since I believe that this is one of the most important yet understudied fields in immunology. My long-term research interest involves understanding thymus function in maintaining health and after thymic injury, as due to (cancer)therapies, infections, or aging. In the short-term, I specifically aim to better understand the role of the human thymic secretome in immunology and how this underevaluated thymus function affects thymopoiesis recovery after hematopoietic cell transplantation. Trained as an applied immunologist (Ph.D. dissertation, SMBWO-certification) with both laboratory and computational skills, I am a translational researcher uniquely equipped to investigate thymus immunology with a vision for clinical impact of my research.
