Focus of research
My research focuses on identifying the (integrative) omics signature of depression (using DNA, methylation, gene expression, proteomics) and on finding better treatment for, and identification of, depression subtypes, mainly using data from NESDA (The Netherlands Study of Depression and Anxiety).
I was co PI of PERCIM (Personalized Care for Immuno-Metabolic Depression) (https://psychiatryamsterdam.nl/project/percim/) and part of the BIOS (Biobank-based integrative omics study) consortium management (https://www.bbmri.nl/acquisition-use-analyze/bios). As NESDA, NTR and BIOS we are part of the large eQTL meta analysis: the eQTLGen Consortium (https://www.eqtlgen.org/).
