During my master's program Molecular Mechanisms of Disease at the Radboud University in Nijmegen, I developed a strong interest in chromosome organization. Therefore, I joined the group of Benjamin Rowland in August 2018 as a PhD student. We are mainly focused on the role of SMC complexes in shaping and maintaining the (3D) genome.

Currently, I am trying to understand molecular mechanisms that underlie cohesin-mediated interphase genome organization. Besides, I study the transition from highly dynamic G1 cohesin to relatively stable G2 cohesin.
