Specializations

Pediatric Gastroenterology and Intestinal Inflammation

Pediatric gastroenterology is a central area of interest, with clinical research activity spanning Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and eosinophilic esophagitis. The portfolio also includes chronic pancreatitis and other gastrointestinal conditions affecting children and adolescents.

  • Crohn’s disease
  • Ulcerative colitis
  • Inflammatory bowel disease
  • Eosinophilic esophagitis

Research activity is linked to clinical care at Erasmus MC in Rotterdam and LUMC in Leiden.

Allergic and Immune-Mediated Disorders

Clinical trial involvement extends to atopic dermatitis, hidradenitis suppurativa, peanut allergy, and immune-mediated skin and inflammatory disorders, reflecting interest in conditions driven by dysregulated immune responses.

  • Atopic dermatitis
  • Hidradenitis suppurativa
  • Peanut allergy
  • Immune-mediated inflammatory disease

The therapeutic focus includes both chronic symptom control and disease-modifying approaches in immune-driven pediatric and adolescent conditions.

Hepatobiliary and Metabolic Liver Disease

Research interests include primary biliary cholangitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, with attention to pruritus and chronic liver-related complications.

  • Primary biliary cholangitis
  • Primary sclerosing cholangitis
  • Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease
  • Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis

These areas connect gastrointestinal practice with broader hepatology-focused therapeutic development.

Pancreatic and Gastrointestinal Oncology

The investigator is also involved in trials addressing pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, and other gastrointestinal malignancies, including resectable and metastatic disease settings.

  • Pancreatic cancer
  • Colorectal cancer
  • Gastroesophageal cancer
  • Advanced gastrointestinal malignancies

This work reflects engagement with evolving therapeutic strategies in digestive tract oncology.

Nutritional and Growth-Related Pediatric Conditions

Clinical research also covers short stature, obesity, and related pediatric metabolic concerns, alongside gastrointestinal conditions that affect growth, nutrition, and long-term development.

  • Short stature
  • Obesity
  • Pediatric metabolic disorders
  • Growth-related conditions

These topics align with the clinical management of children whose digestive or metabolic disease influences nutritional status and development.
