Staff members with discipline Cell Biology

Academia develops at the interface of different fields. This is one reason why the University of Groningen is home to a wide range of fields, each with a great number of subject specialists. The overview below, which is based on a standard categorization of fields, will help you find the right expert for each field. If you cannot find the expert you are looking for in this list, try searching via a related field or faculty; you may find him or her there.

Function
Professor
The intestinal mucosa is exposed to fluctuations in oxygen levels due to constantly changing rates of oxygen demand and supply and its juxtaposition with the anoxic environment of the intestinal lumen. This frequently results in a state of hypoxia in the healthy mucosa even in the physiologic state. Furthermore, pathophysiologic hypoxia (which is more severe and extensive) is associated with chronic inflammatory diseases including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), a ubiquitously expressed regulator of cellular adaptation to hypoxia, is central to both the adaptive and the inflammatory responses of cells of the intestinal mucosa in IBD patients. In my PhD, I was interested in studying how microenvironmental factors in the intestine modulate intestinal epithelial HIF-1α activation and influence epithelial homeostasis. Currently, as a PostDoc, I study the KEAP1:NFR2 pathway in the context of mucosal inflammation, in which we apply scRNAseq to intestinal biopsies and patient-derived intestinal organoids to better understand cell-type specific responses to oxidative stress and antioxidant therapy.

We are interested in the consequences of aneuploidy, an abnormal DNA content affecting 2 out of 3 cancers. By understanding how cancer cells make use of the advantages of aneuploidy and cope with the disadvantages of aneuploidy, we hope to get to therapies that can eradicate aneuploid cancers.
