A versatile lab researcher with hands-on depth in cell culture, CRISPR/Cas9, and lentiviral vector production.
I’m a molecular life sciences researcher who likes the precise, hands-on side of the lab — and I’m looking for the right R&D internship or junior research role to grow in.
My background spans two research internships at the UMCG — building lentiviral CRISPR/Cas9 systems and culturing iPSC-derived organoids — and a research technician role in an ISO 13485-regulated environment. I work carefully, document thoroughly, and enjoy both supporting a team and running my own experiments.
I’m currently completing a part-time HBO-MSc in Applied Molecular Life Sciences at HAN — an industry-focused programme that builds research, project-management, and professional skills alongside hands-on lab work. The workplace-learning structure means I can join an organisation for the long term while my coursework supports the projects I take on.
My team won first prize and a €10,000 development grant for a regenerative ACL scaffold — a prototype now under experimental validation. It’s the kind of work I love: translating molecular science into something that could reach patients.
Our team was later selected as a finalist in the Oxford Venture Builder Programme, building on the same project.
If you have an R&D internship or junior research opening — or just want to talk about whether there’s a fit — I’d love to hear from you.
