Research project at Princess Maxima Center for Pediatric Oncology Utrecht



This was the very first research project that I started during my Masters programme in Biomedical Sciences. It was quite an experience, because the research group was literally on the move. I started out at the University Medical Center in Amsterdam, we spent a weekend on Texel and halfway my internship we relocated to the Princess Maxima Center for Pediatric Oncology. 
Despite the logistic struggles I had a great time with this particular research group. My supervisor was a great guy who really challenged me to be innovative, creative and work independently. Mostly due to this internship it became clear to me that I wanted to pursue a career in research. 

My research project was focused on the particular role of a substrate in Ras-MAPK signaling in Neuroblastoma. It has been the basis for all molecular techniques that I know of today. During my final presentation I could proudly announce that I finished 1,2 Western Blots on average a week for 7 months.

Research project at University Hospital Cologne

Charmed by the German work environment, I decided to conduct my final research project in Cologne. I had an amazing time in the lab of neuro-immunology, which I even extended for a few months.  Here I studied Zika virus tropism to human Schwann cells and its implications for Guillain-Barre syndrome. I had the chance to work with three different Zika virus strains and tried to elucidate how infection could lead to auto-immune neuropathy.  Moreover, I made friends for a lifetime and I still visit Cologne multiple times a year.

Research Coordinator at KiKa (stichting Kinderen Kankervrij)

It has been incredibly hard to quit my PhD, but it has also opened various doors for me. At first, I started looking for new opportunities in research. I soon noticed that I was still too frustrated about not succeeding in my PhD trajectory and that I needed some time to think about what I truly wanted. A vacancy appeared for a temporary position at KiKa (the Dutch Children Cancerfree foundation). I found back my enthusiasm and passion for research at this wonderful organisation. Never in my previous work life have I been welcomed with so much kindness and gratitude. From day one I have felt appreciated and this was exactly what I needed. At KiKa I coordinate the reviewing process of grant applications. My responsibilities include the communication with our scientific board and applicants, the selection of reviewers and the monitoring of scientific quality of ongoing research projects. I truly enjoy my time at KiKa, but since my colleague will eventually come back from m
