I graduated with my masters from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam with specializations in Molecular Cell Biology and Biological Chemistry. I first came to the Bardwell lab in April 2009 to do an internship as part of my master’s program at VU Amsterdam and ended up staying to pursue my PhD as a visiting scholar beginning December 2009. My first project focused on developing a bacterial in vivo assay, using a protein folding biosensor, which can be used to screen chemical/pharmacological chaperones that enhance the stability of proteins. Currently, I am working on developing a similar biosensor on a eukaryotic platform using saccharomyces cerevisiae. In my spare time, I like reading non-science stuff and keeping up to date with current events, watching and playing soccer, swimming and doing anything outdoorsy and making friends.
