NRS Webinar-Next-Gen Approaches to Tuberculosis Control

Invited Speakers

Dr. Reinout van Crevel (Radboud): Sequencing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis; resistance, transmission and pathogenesis

and

Dr. Paula Niewold (LUMC)

Reinout van Crevel is an internist-infectious disease specialist who combines clinical work in infectious diseases at Radboudumc, tertiary center for mycobacterial diseases, with teaching and research. In his research he links patient studies and laboratory sciences to better understand susceptibility to tuberculosis (TB) and improve clinical care. He has collaborated with Indonesian universities for over 25 years, and now leads international consortia in Africa and Asia, on TB meningitis, the most severe form of disease, and the interaction of TB and diabetes. Prof van Crevel holds a part-time position at the Queen Mary Univeristy London and enjoys teaching, especially in international context.

Paula Niewold is a postdoc in infectious disease research at the Leiden University Medical Center. Her research focuses on identifying immune cell (interactions) that contribute to the outcome of tuberculosis disease. Through her collaboration with the Biomedical Primate Research Center, she applies high-dimensional imaging technologies to lung material from the non-human primate model to discover which immune cell phenotypes and interactions underlie protection against infection and disease.
