About Jenny van Asbeck-van der Wijst
Jenny van der Wijst obtained her PhD degree in Medical Sciences at the Radboud University Nijmegen in 2011. Following, she worked as an EMBO-funded postdoc at the lab of Dario Alessi (MRC-PPU, Scotland) and as a NWO Veni-funded postdoc at the department of Physiology, Radboudumc. In addition, she visited the lab of Yifan Cheng (UCSF, USA) as a Marie Curie fellow at. Her research focuses on the molecular and cellular physiology of epithelial ion channels and transporters towards understanding kidney health and disease.
