Dr. M. (Margreet) R. de Vries

I am assistant professor at the vascular surgery department. In 2014 I defended the thesis entitled: “Mechanistic factors and innate immunity components in vein graft disease”. I also have a position as adjunct-associate professor at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical school in Boston.

My research focuses on vascular remodeling, regenerative vascularisation and vascular imaging. Using in vitro and especially in vivo models and the latest imaging techniques, atherosclerotic processes, vascular remodeling and the crosstalk of immune cells and vascular cells is studied. I have close collaborations with clinicians to stay focused on the translational aspect of the research and I am an international recognized expert on vascular remodeling and microsurgical experimental animal models
