I started as a research technician at the Division of Toxicology in the group of Gerard Mulder. Currently, I work in the group of Bob van de Water, at the Division of Drug Discovery and Safety. My main research activities relate to in vivo validation experiments for various breast cancer related projects, but I spend most of my time on the organization, maintenance and safety of our laboratories.
