Research focus
My research focuses on two distinct areas within molecular diagnostics. As part of a collaborative iBOF project with UZA, Antwerp University, and Ghent University, I am developing a singlet oxygen photo-electrochemical detection platform to identify actionable oncogenic mutations in DNA and RNA, with an emphasis on enhancing sensitivity using recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA). Additionally, I am working on the precise quantification of immune cells using digital PCR (dPCR) and epigenetic cell markers to gain a better understanding of immune cell populations in disease contexts.
