Gynaecologist Annemiek Nap has been appointed professor of Reproductive Medicine at Radboud University and Radboudumc with effect from 1 January 2021. In this capacity, Nap will focus on finding solutions to issues in the field of fertility. In addition, she will work on improving the care for women with endometriosis.
Endometriosis
Annemiek Nap (Valburg, 1973) worked at the Rijnstate Hospital in Arnhem from 2009 and focused on the areas of fertility and endometriosis (the presence of endometrium‑like tissue outside of the uterus). There, she established a multidisciplinary centre for diagnostics and treatment of endometriosis.
Annemiek passed her final degree examination in Medicine cum laude in 1999 at Radboud University, obtained her PhD in Maastricht (on the dissertation The pathogenesis of endometriosis: Sampson was right) and remained there to follow training to become a gynaecologist. She is no stranger to the Radboudumc: she was a fellow in Reproductive Medicine at the Radboudumc from 2010 to 2012.
Reproductive Medicine Manual
Through collaborations with various partners, Annemiek Nap has made major contributions to the knowledge in her field. She and her colleagues wrote the Handboek Voortplantingsgeneeskunde (Reproductive Medicine Manual), she is the chair of the Reproductive Medicine pillar of the Dutch Association for Obstetrics and Gynaecology (NVOG), and she was involved in the establishment of the European guideline on the management of women with endometriosis, amongst other accomplishments. She is also a member of the board of the World Endometriosis Society. Through national and international collaborations, she seeks to fill in the gaps in knowledge in the field of gynaecology.
