Bio
I studied molecular sciences at Leiden University and the University of Erlangen, initially focussing on the application of computational quantum chemistry methods to structure-based drug design. I became fascinated by the complexity of protein structures, and the wish to understand them prompted an interest in experimental biophysics. During my doctoral studies at the Bijvoet Center for Biomolecular Research in Utrecht I combined structural biology and single-molecule biophysics to understand the regulatory mechanism of a nanoscale mechanosensory protein involved in bleeding arrest. I then joined the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), where I used electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM) to study large molecular assemblies involved in selective autophagy. This triggered my interest in understanding the mechanism by which large protein assemblies shape and disrupt biological membranes. Since starting my own group in 2018, we are focusing on understanding how cells build up autonomous immunity by using their membrane remodeling machinery to dispose of intracellular pathogens. This knowledge is highly relevant to develop new strategies for fighting off such pathogens that are otherwise difficult to target. In our group we use cryogenic electron imaging techniques to visualize these highly dynamic processes at high resolution. We think that electron imaging is uniquely posed to addressing these questions, and we develop technical tools and computational methods to help push the frontiers of cryo-EM that will make this possible.
