During her MD-PhD appointment, she worked short periods at the lab of Prof. P. Carmeliet in Leuven, and at the lab of Dr. V. Koteliansky (Biogen, Cambridge, MA, USA) and Prof. R. Flavell (Yale Medical school, New Haven, CT, USA). In 2002-2003 she completed post-doctoral research fellowships at the Vascular Medicine dept. at the Brigham’s and women’s hospital/ Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA, USA and at the Angiogenesis Research Center at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center / Dartmouth Medical School in Hanover, NH, USA. She continued her post-doctoral fellowship at the dept. of Pathology in Maastricht (Dr. E.

Her present research interests focuses on the role of inflammation and the immune system in atherosclerosis development and progression, with special interest on the CD40-CD40L system. |
