Biography

Biography

Dr. Jeanette Leusen, received her PhD in 1995 at the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. She became associate professor and head of the immunotherapy group of the University Medical Center in Utrecht in 2006, and head of the UMAB facility in 2012. She has co-authored more than 120 publications in peer-reviewed journals and is inventor on 10 patent applications. Her group of 24 FTE works on the mechanism of action of therapeutic antibodies, with a special interest in IgA as a novel class of antibody for the treatment of both malignant as infectious disease.
