In June 2023, I completed my PhD at Ghent University. During my PhD research I generated several human induced pluripotent stem cell lines which were employed to generate cardiac disease models. In August 2024, I joined Taghon’s research group as a postdoctoral researcher. Currently, I am optimizing CAR T cell differentiation from human iPSCs as part of the NOVISTEM project by leveraging fundamental knowledge  about normal T-cell development.
