T:B Cell lab

  • Generous Donation Supports Lung Cancer Research

    During a fundraising event organized by the Rotterdam Fund Racers (link), money was raised for cancer research. A portion of the proceeds (€40,000) was allocated to further research by our research group, which focuses on mapping the different immune cells within tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) in lung cancer. Despite the advent of new cancer treatments,…

  • Start thesis research projects

    We are excited to welcome Fleur de Jager and Fatima Al-Shariff to our lab as they begin their 10-week bachelor thesis research projects, which include two weeks in the lab to observe and learn from ongoing experiments. Fleur will explore additional roles of CXCL8 beyond its well-known function as a neutrophil attractant. Fatima will investigate…

  • Review accepted and online

    I’m happy to share that our review of the different models to study T:B cell interactions is now online! This review results from an excellent thesis written by a talented student (Elisa Fleischmann) during her internship in our lab The open-access paper can be found here

  • PhD Candidate starting

    We are very happy to welcome Vera Middelkamp in our lab as a doctoral candidate. Her research will focus on the innate immune signature on human naive T cells and its impact on humoral immunity. Welcome!

  • Start Thesis Project – Elisa

    Elisa Fleischmann, a third-year Bachelor’s student majoring in biomedical sciences at University College Utrecht, will be joining our lab for her bachelor’s thesis project. Her research will focus on reviewing various models that study T-B cell interactions, providing a balanced analysis of their strengths and limitations. We look forward to her insights on this topic.
