Biography

Dörte Hamann (1967) started her career in basic immunological research on phenotype and function of CD8+ T cells. As a post-doc she studied the effect of HIV infection on the immune system. Her interest in clinical research and patient diagnostics made her move towards laboratory medicine. Her present work focusses on implementation of new immunological insights into diagnostics and the integration of immunological diagnostics with other laboratory specialisms.

Dörte Hamann studied Biology at the University of Leipzig in Germany. After finishing her studies she moved to Amsterdam to work on her PhD project “Human T cells -phenotype and function” at the CLB (now Sanquin), Amsterdam. After working several years as a post-doc in HIV research at Sanquin, Amsterdam, she was trained as laboratory specialist Medical Immunology at Sanquin and the Academic Medical Center Amsterdam and got registered in 2007. At Sanquin Diagnostics she headed the Immunopathology and Blood Coagulation Department. Since 2018 she is responsible for the medical immunology diagnostics at the Utrecht University Medical Center and is heading the Advanced Diagnostics Laboratory of the Central Diagnostics Laboratory. In 2020 she became professor for integrated immunological diagnostics. She is the chairman of the board of the College of Medical Immunologists and an active member of the Dutch IVDR taskforce, in which she represents the College of Medical Immunologists.
