After two years of exploring all aspects of the human body during the master study, in the end my attention was most caught by the beautiful design and complexity of the heart.
The fascination started growing during the assignment in which I could study the tiny heart of a rat embryo. In contrast to that, I was even given the unique opportunity to investigate a massive elephant heart at the University Medical Center in Leiden (LUMC).
During this time in Leiden, I had the chance to talk to a doctor who allowed me to catch a glimpse of her work concerning postmortem examination on congenital heart defects. This really inspired me and in view of my Master Thesis, I could not let go of the idea that this would be an interesting subject area.
I had the privilege to make this wonderful publication about 'univentricular or biventricular repair in hypoplastic left heart syndrome' in coöperation with the department of pediatric cardiology and cardiovascular surgery of the University Hospitals Leuven, and to graduate (June 2015) with honors.
Ever since, I am still active in this field.
