I am interested in understanding how ribosomes and RNA translation can affect cell fate.
I co-founded a Green Labs team and I co-manage the DEI committee at The Netherlands Cancer Institute, both of which strive to implement policy changes to ensure the best possible opportunities for everyone.
You can find me enjoying live concerts, traveling and playing with illustration tools
