Expertise
I am a PhD student currently employed at the Laboratory for Molecular and Cellular Therapy (LMCT, VUB). I have obtained a Master degree in Biomedical Sciences at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. My PhD project is a joint project between the LMCT and ICMI research groups in which I will focus on the development of an in vivo nanoCAR-T cell therapy.
