Judith Cosemans (J.M.E.M.)

Platelet biology, atherothrombosis, signal transduction, microscopy

Judith Cosemans developed an interest in platelet biology during her PhD, which focused on their role in macrovascular thrombosis. Subsequently, she pursued an award-winning postdoc project, where she worked on developing flow chamber technology as an alternative to experimental models of arterial thrombosis. Afterward, she received personal grants from the Dutch Heart Foundation (DHF, 2011 and 2015) and a Vidi grant (2016), enabling her to establish an independent research line on the interface of platelets and vascular biology. In 2023, she was awarded the BHF-DZHK-DHF International Cardiovascular Research Partnership Award, supporting her current research into the role of platelets in microvascular dysfunction and novel therapeutic interventions.
