Welcome to our lab site!
Welcome to our lab site!
We are a highly motivated and interdisciplinary research team that focuses on dissecting molecular networks and mechanisms underlying human brain function and disease, using the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster as a model. Here you can read more about what we do.
We are based in the Department of Human Genetics at Radboudumc in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. In addition, we are embedded in the multidisciplinary Donders institute of Brain, Cognition, and Behaviour, which allows us to operate across disciplines.

April 22 - As a goodbye for Melanie, the lab got together for a fun night of bowling, food and drinks.
April 9 - Barbara, Isabel, Spencer and Marina teamed up as "Winging it" for the Carréloop - a relay run through the basement of the Radboudumc.
April 3-5 - Marina (digitally) joined and presented at the Genetics of Neurodevelopmental Disorders conference.
March 8 - We joined the strike against the terrible budget cuts to higher education and research. With our signs "Steun Onderwijs & Onderzoek voor een sterk Europa" and "Slim budgetteren kán je leren", we fully support the relay strike's slogan: DOE HET NIET!
