Biography

Pathological structure and function of the cerebellum is often found in people with autism, and cerebellar lesions at birth lead to a significant autism-risk. These observations brought me to investigate the role of the cerebellum in autism and conduct translational studies supported by Veni (2014) and Vidi (2018) grants. I have extensive expertise in systems neuroscience including working with disease mouse models. My laboratory works on unravelling the mechanism which underlie autism taking sex divergence into consideration. Recently, I have started a collaboration with the Department of Immunology to study the causal role of primary immunodeficiency in autism. My work is highly collaborative which is evident by my participation and leadership in (inter)national consortia (e.g. PIPgen MSCA-ITN network, SCANNER NWA-ORC-2022).
