I am a Cancer, Stem cells and Developmental biology masters’ student at Utrecht University, and I started a one-year internship in the Drost lab in October 2026. Together with Charlotte, I will investigate the role of Lgr5+ cells in different subtypes of atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (AT/RTs).

I am eager to conduct this project because it will allow me to further develop my scientific expertises by learning state-of-art research techniques, including genetic manipulations and multi-omic approaches in organoid models. At the same time, I look forward to developing my professional skills by collaborating with and learning from the entire group.

When I am not in the lab, you can find me mixing electronic musing and doing DJ sets. I also love food, so you will often find me cooking Italian dishes or, as I like to say, doing experiments in the kitchen. In my spare time, I also enjoy hanging out with friends and going on road trips in Europe.
