Dr M.G.A. van Holstein (Mieke)

At Research & Impact, I am using my project management skills to contribute to the acceleration and improvement of science and technological innovation.

After obtaining a PhD in neuroscience in 2016, and a 4-year post-doc at UBC in Canada (Vancouver), I returned to the Netherlands to work for a company as consultant & project leader.

The interfaculty, multidisciplinary initiative I am currently leading aims to innovate the development of focused ultrasound as a promising key-technology. We focus on its current application as research tool for neuromodulation and on its future potential for clinical use and to target drug delivery (through opening the blood brain barrier).
