Research
My genetic epidemiological research focuses on identifying genes, environmental factors and their interactions playin a role in the development and progression of (complex) diseases. Although the research covers many fields including fertility, ophthalmology and neurogenetics, the main emphasis has been on outcomes in the fields of vascular medicine and cardiology.
