Specializations

Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Gastrointestinal Immunology

Frank de Veerdonk is involved in clinical research on Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and broader inflammatory bowel disease programs, with attention to immune-mediated control of intestinal inflammation and symptom relief.

  • Crohn’s disease
  • Ulcerative colitis
  • Immune-mediated intestinal inflammation

His trial portfolio also includes interest in refractory and complex gastrointestinal inflammatory conditions, including disease activity and remission-focused therapeutic development.

Renal and Glomerular Diseases

His research landscape includes IgA nephropathy, C3 glomerulopathy, immune-complex membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, and other proteinuric glomerular diseases, reflecting a strong focus on kidney inflammation and renal preservation.

  • IgA nephropathy
  • C3 glomerulopathy
  • Proteinuric kidney disease

Additional activity extends to chronic kidney disease, primary membranous nephropathy, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, and transplant-related renal protection.

Infectious Diseases and Antimicrobial Therapy

As an investigator in Infectious Disease, he is engaged in studies addressing sepsis, Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia, tuberculosis, COVID-19, and invasive fungal disease, including aspergillosis and other mold infections.

  • Sepsis
  • Tuberculosis
  • Invasive fungal infections

His work also spans respiratory and bloodstream infections, supporting therapeutic development in difficult-to-treat infectious syndromes.

Cardiovascular Medicine and Thrombotic Risk

His trial activity includes atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, and hypertension, with emphasis on prevention and event reduction.

  • Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
  • Acute coronary syndrome
  • Thromboembolic disease

He also contributes to research in venous thromboembolism, pulmonary embolism, and lipid-related cardiovascular risk, including elevated lipoprotein(a).

Autoimmune, Oncology, and Neurologic Disorders

His broader clinical research includes systemic sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and psoriatic arthritis, alongside oncology programs in urothelial cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and lymphoma.

  • Systemic autoimmune disease
  • Solid tumors
  • B-cell malignancies

He is also involved in studies of Parkinson’s disease, retinitis pigmentosa, and other immune- and neurodegenerative conditions.
