In 2017, I received my BSc Medical Sciences and Technology at TU/e. During this period, I was the lab captain of the iGEM TU/e 2016 team and participated in a summer internship at UC Santa Barbara in biophysics. I received my MSc in Biomedical Engineering in 2019 at TU/e with my graduation thesis in the group of prof. Bert Meijer, where I synthesized and studied the behavior of charged supramolecular assemblies. I then completed my master’s program with a final internship at EPFL (Switzerland) in the programmable biomaterials laboratory of prof. Maartje Bastings, combining DNA origami and multivalency.
Since October 2019, I am a PhD student under guidance of prof. Patricia Dankers and prof. Bert Meijer, focused on supramolecular biomaterials to better understand the (kidney) cell – material interface.
