Metabolomics and Lipidomics

My academic appointment focuses on translational metabolomics and lipidomics, in which I study the role of metabolites and lipids in health and disease.

Academic career

I studied pharmacy in Heidelberg and Munich and obtained my PhD at LMU Munich (Dec 2007 - “Development of novel test systems for the analysis of enzyme inhbitors of distal cholesterol and ergosterol biosynthesis”), followed by positions as a postdoc and assistant professor at VU Amsterdam and a research stay at Harvard Medical School. Since 2011, I have been working at LUMC, where I have led the Metabolomics group as associate professor since 2016, expanding and strengthening our focus on translational metabolomics.
