Welcome!

We are a young lab in the field of chemical biology and sandwiched between the Radboud University and the Radboud Institute for Molecular Life Sciences in Nijmegen (NL). We combine organic chemistry with molecular biology and biochemistry to target and answer biological questions related to autoimmune- and protein misfolding diseases.

So honoured to receive an ERC starting grant! In this project inCITe we will use chemical strategies to reveal the secrets of protein citrullination and find the link with many autoimmune diseases. Announcement found here (in Dutch) and an interview in the local university magazine VOX together with my SO followed from the Tweet: Two science careers Two kids Two ‪ERC starting grants!


April, 2018

Present at our organized KNCV international meeting on Organic Chemistry in Wageningen. What a great line of speakers! Thanks for attending!
