About me

  • I am an enthusiastic psychiatrist, eager to contribute to team success
    through hard work, attention to detail and excellent organizational skills. I
    would like to discover the neurobiological background of autism, as well as
    improve life quality for people with autism in daily clinical work.
    Medical Doctor, Leiden University
    Psychiatrist

Research

  • I am studying behavioral phenotypes and neurotransmitter markers for autism,
    as measured with positron emission tomography (PET). We are investigating
    three hypotheses: changes in the serotonin and glutamate system, and synapse
    density. Of which two in a twin design. The studies are part of
    AIMS-2-TRIALS, the world’s largest autism research fund.
