‘The challenge is to increase your competitiveness in research and innovation. Let’s do it together!’. I really like to tackle challenges and that is why I love to be part of the ttopstart academy team. With my mixed background in life science and entrepreneurship, complemented with years of experience in grant writing, I believe that I can help you to improve the skills and competences of your research group.

Background: I studied Health Sciences at the VU University Amsterdam and obtained a master’s degree in “Management, Policy-analysis and Entrepreneurship in Health and Life Sciences”. As co-founder of ttopstart, I have extensive experience in developing competitive public-private consortia for Horizon 2020 proposals and writing individual excellence grants.
