Personal profile
Research interests
I am a senior postdoc (NWO Veni laureate) in fundamental and translational immunology with an extensive experience in cancer and autoimmunity research. My research focuses on developing novel therapeutic nanovaccines, by harnessing dendritic cells to drive anti-cancer immune responses or to dampen in autoimmune diseases.
