  In the lab of Suzan Rooijakkers, I studied how complement proteins in serum can kill bacteria by forming pores in their cell envelope. This research can help guide the development of immune therapy against bacterial infections.

  In the lab of Michael Carroll, I studied how complement proteins contribute to forming immunological memory by trafficking antigens to the lymph nodes. This is important to understand how long-lasting immunity is achieved. I did this internship under the supervision of prof. dr. Michael Carroll and Dr. Cees van der Poel.

  In the lab of Willem van Schaik, I studied how resistance to the antibiotic colistin affects the capacity of the immune system to kill the bacterium Klebsiella pneumoniae. This is important to better understand the consequences antibiotic resistance has on the survival of Klebsiella inside the host.
