My research interest is to understand the pathophysiology, epidemiology and impact of invasive fungal infections in order to identify risk factors and optimize diagnostics and treatment. Focussing on: 1. fungal infections in our globalizing world in which emerging threats are coming our way. Through epidemiological and clinical research I aim to: - find the optimal diagnostic strategy for Candida auris, - evaluate the impact of Aspergillus and Mucorales in patients with influenza and COVID-19. And understand the exposure risk to explain differences between countries using air samples in a joint study with Wageningen University and Research. - evaluate the impact of Histoplasmosis in The Netherlands and try to validate a new test to screen for histoplasmosis in risk groups 2. fungal infections in the growing population of immunosuppressed patients (especially hematology patients). Using clinical research I aim to optimize diagnostic methods for Aspergillus, Mucorales and Candida spp. 3. emerging fields. I aim to understand the function and biology of mycoviridae and their virulence on fungi using fundamental research in order to eventually find new treatment options for fungal infections in a joint study with Wageningen University and Research. |
