Introduction
I am a medical microbiologist (bacteriologist) and head of the Netherlands Donor Feces Bank (NDFB). I divide my attention between daily patient care, coordinating the ‘bacteriology, mycology & parasitology laboratory’ and the NDFB, and microbiota related research.
My expertise lies in bacteriology, Clostridioides difficile, multi-drug resistant Gram negatives and the microbiota in health and disease, more specifically the modification of a patients’ perturbed gut microbiota with fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) prepared from healthy donor feces.

The combination of clinical patient care, laboratory management, research and education of microbiology residents & students makes working in an academic medical center valuable.
