About Anneke den Hollander
Anneke den Hollander conducts research into molecular causes of common eye diseases, including age-related macular degeneration. read moreAbout Anneke den Hollander
2002: BostonAfter her PhD, Anneke den Hollander worked as a guest researcher at the Téléthon Institute of Genetics and Medicine in Naples, Italy. She also completed a postgraduate fellowship at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary at Harvard Medical School in Boston (USA).
2008: Nijmegen
Since 2008 she has been working as a principal scientific researcher at the Department of Ophthalmology at Radboudumc. She acquired various personal grants from, among others, ZonMW (Veni, Vidi, Aspasia) and the European Research Council (ERC).
Her teaching assignment is to design personalized healthcare within ophthalmology, based on the molecular profile of the individual patient. The focus is on common disorders of the retina, including age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. New concepts arising from molecular research will be translated into clinical practice. She will also provide education on molecular research and the development of personalized healthcare within the medical and biomedical curricula and for ophthalmologists and doctors in training. Today, 160 scientific publications have been published by her hand. She has supervised 10 PhD students and is preparing 11 more PhDs.
