Research interests

The main research line is “Imaging I³”: Infection, Inflammation, and (tumor)Immunology

Infection:

Musculoskeletal: peripheral osteomyelitis, device-related infections such as prosthetic joint infections, diabetic foot infection, fracture-related infections

Cardiovascular: endocarditis, device-related infections such as vascular graft infections, intravascular prosthetic material infections

Sepsis/bloodstream infections: bacteremia, specific bacterial infections

Fungal infections
Infections in children

Inflammation:

Amyloidosis
Sarcoidosis

Tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS

Atherosclerosis and vasculitis

Rejection and PTLD after organ transplantation

Inflammatory diseases in children
Sports injuries

(Tumor)immunology:

Imaging autoimmune reaction/checkpoints in tumors
Imaging of lymphocytes
Imaging of macrophages

Societal impact:

Development of diagnostic and therapeutic flowcharts in infectious and inflammatory diseases
Publication of several Dutch (NFU, NVNG) and European (EANM) guidelines/recommendations
Development and implementation of new specific tracers in infectious and inflammatory diseases (IL-2, PD1/PDL1, sorbitol, labelled antibiotics, labelled antifungal drugs)
Improvement of existing techniques for infection imaging (new protocols for white blood cell scintigraphy and FDG-PET)

Role of nuclear medicine in therapy evaluation of infectious and inflammatory diseases and during/after immunotherapy

Besides this Imaging I³ research line, I also perform some research in the field of oncology (this is also the main differential diagnosis with infectious diseases in PET):

Imaging of hormonal receptors (FES-PET, FDHT-PET)
Imaging of brain tumors
Imaging of apoptosis
Imaging lymphomas

Other research tasks:

Co-chair research Medical Imaging Center
Responsible person for contract research Medical Imaging Center
Coordinator of the research line Oncology, Infection and Transplantation
Writing publications and grant applications
Writing Dutch (NFU, NVNG) and European (EANM) guidelines/recommendations
Reviewer of manuscripts
Collaboration with many external centers (Netherlands, Europe and worldwide)
