About
Introduction
Scientific research is my passion. My focus is on epidemiologic and clinical research concerning glaucoma and keratoconus. I like to translate research findings with my clinical work. It is great to tell patients about their risk and to predict their disease course based on my own research. I am happy when I have answered and integrated my research questions into the clinic.
Fields of expertise
Glaucoma, epidemiology, genetics, keratoconus.
Education and career
PhD-thesis: "Epidemiologic and genetic insights into open-angle glaucoma".
I have supervised several medical/technical/PhD- students. Currently I am the masterresearch coordinator of our department for medical students of the Erasmus Medical Center.
