Researcher
I am interested in understanding HIV-1 transmission network dynamics. To do that I previously developed a mathematical model, and currently focus on the use of phylogenetic analysis on HIV-1 polymerase sequences. The results will reveal what drives the HIV-1 epidemic in the Netherlands and how the transmitted virus evolves.
