BIO
I am a Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP) Fellow at the Korcsmaros Lab (PI: Dr. Tamas Korcsmaros), the BioPattern lab (PI: Dr. Ravinash Krishna Kumar) and the NIHR Imperial BRC Organoid Facility, investigating the fundamental question of how microbial spatial arrangement within the gut's mucus layer affects intestinal homeostasis and host-microbe interactions.
I received a Masters degree in Biomedical Sciences from Hasselt University (Diepenbeek, Belgium) with a focus on Environmental Health Sciences. I then went on to do a PhD in Bioengineering at Ghent University (Ghent, Belgium), where I developed and optimized an in vitro model to model host microbe interactions in the small intestine. Before starting the HFSP fellowship in June 2025, I was a Research Associate in Organoid Culturing at the NIHR Imperial BRC Organoid Facility.
