Why BlinkLab

Working with a very motivated young team. Trying to actually create tools that make a difference in a child's neurdevelopmental journey opposed to the academic objective of just focussing on "better understanding" with improvements being a result of that in the later future.

My Role

I joined BlinkLab in Dec 2024 because it allows me to use my broad scientific and clinical experience in a purposeful way. I am Chief Medical Officer and my day-to-day tasks are study design, making sure studies in BL are done in a meaningful scientific way as well as making sure all study procedures are conducted in a sound way from a regulatory standpoint.

Meet the rest of our team!

With the roots of our company lying in the neurological research field, our team is built from strong academic knowledge gained at prestigious institutions such as Princeton University and Erasmus MC.
