I’m a molecular geneticist with a foundation in biology, having obtained my BSc in Biology here in Leiden, where I was first introduced to the fascinating world of life sciences. My undergraduate studies sparked a deep interest in cell biology, cancer research, cell signalling, molecular genetics, and developmental biology. Alongside my academic pursuits, I've always harboured a passionate hobby in ecology, biodiversity, and evolution, exploring the diversity of both plant and animal species—I’m a biologist after all. Following my bachelor's degree, I further specialized by obtaining an MSc in Biology, concentrating on molecular genetics and biotechnology. This phase of my education allowed me to delve into cancer research using our renowned zebrafish model under Ewa Snaar-Jagalska, as well as explore developmental biology and rare disease through the lens of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) under Micha Drukker, where I’m currently working as a PhD-candidate.
