Marion van Vugt
Marion is a biologist and completed her PhD on omics in cardiac disease at University Medical Center Utrecht, leveraging large sample size data, such as the UK Biobank. She contributed to important initiatives such as the genome-wide association studies in stroke and heart failure subtypes.
After her PhD, Marion pursued postdoctoral research at Amsterdam University Medical Center, continuing her work on omics and cardiac disease. She also holds an honorary position at University College London.
Marion’s research aims to identify novel drug targets for cardiac diseases like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and heart failure by investigating associations between omics data, clinical outcomes, and other relevant parameters, while identifying which proteins involved are druggable.
