Biography
After earning a BSc in Applied Mathematics and Molecular Biology from Maastricht University, I completed an MPhil in Computational Biology at the University of Cambridge. I then worked as a bioinformatician in the Butovsky Laboratory at the Brigham and Women’s hospital, focusing on neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases. As a PhD researcher with the Transmissible Cancer Group, I investigate host–cancer immune interactions in mammalian transmissible cancers.
