In 2019 I started my PhD research at the Department of Rheumatology in the Sint Maartenskliniek. Up until 2023 I have combined my research with clinical rotations for the Master's program in Medicine-Clinical Researcher at Maastricht University. Starting from 2023, I have been working as a physician and researcher, and I will now proceed to complete my doctoral research that focuses on optimizing diagnostics in rheumatoid arthritis.
