Expertise
As an experienced scientist with a PhD in Medical Sciences from Vrije Universiteit Brussel, I am currently working as a scientific project manager in the clinical fertility center at the VUB/UZ Brussel. In my work, I am responsible for the organization and daily practice of our clinical study on cumulus cells, the cells surrounding the female egg or oocyte. In this role, I also convince patients and external collaborators to participate in our research project. I perform extensive scientific reporting for professional and layman publications and aim to develop this medical writing skill further in the future.
