For a physicist as myself, biology provides a huge pool of interesting challenges which enhance our understanding of life, and generate exciting new physics. As such, I completed my PhD in Leiden in Thomas Schmidt's group by looking at the interaction between shape and biological function.

After that, I briefly worked on the retromer system, which recycles certain proteins. In Tineke Lenstra's group I am employing a novel system which will give us insight in RNA transcription.
