    PhD Biochemistry

    Wageningen University

    I developed a microscopy technique to visualize single DNA molecules. This technique allows to investigate how DNA interacts with other biomolecules. Using this approach, I studied how genes are regulated in plants. link to publication

    During this project, I also happily supervised six wonderful students in their thesis projects, each of which yielded meaningful new insights in our research, as well as their name on the publication.
