Pleun de Groen
Pleun de Groen is a doctoral researcher at Amsterdam UMC / University of Amsterdam and a member of the research group led by Prof. Max Nieuwdorp. Her PhD research examines the role of the gut microbiome in immune and metabolic regulation in type 1 diabetes, with a particular interest in how microbial-derived signals shape disease development.
Using a combination of experimental and translational approaches, her work aims to unravel host–microbe interactions that are relevant to autoimmune diabetes. Through her research, Pleun contributes to a growing body of knowledge that seeks to inform future strategies for prevention and treatment.
Her work is embedded within broader diabetes research efforts that also connect to clinical studies and innovation in the context of the Diabeter Centre Amsterdam.
