As a chemistry student, I started working in the field of nanomedicine in 1999. Since then, I have been captivated by the application of nanotechnology in medicine, particularly in immunology. After a 15-year tenure at Mount Sinai, I returned to the Netherlands in the beginning of 2021 to established a unique multidisciplinary ecosystem at Radboudumc and TU/e. It allows young scientists from diverse backgrounds to flourish and mature into the engineers, scientists, and medical doctors of tomorrow, by participating in and driving innovative science today. Through exploration of the biological, chemical and experimental knowledge, we interconnect nanotechnology and immunology with the overarching goal to develop nanomedicine strategies for detrimental immune-mediated diseases.
