About

Introduction

Graduated from university (Master of Science, Medicine) in August 2021. Briefly worked as a resident in the Neurology department at the Ikazia Hospital (Rotterdam). I started the PhD trajectory in March 2022 at the Erasmus University Medical Center, which will keep me occupied for the coming four years.

Field(s) of expertise

The project I'm working on is the PROUDkids2.0 study (Predicting OUtcome and disease course in acquired Demyelinating syndromes in childhood). This is a prospective cohort study in the Netherlands for predicting the outcome in children with a first episode of an acquired demyelinating syndrome, such as multiple sclerosis, MOGAD and NMOSD.
