Hans Vink
Principal Investigator
Hans Vink studied Physics at the University of Amsterdam and graduated in 1994 at the department of Medical Physics at the Academic Medical Center on the implications of the endothelial glycocalyx for flow of red blood cells in capillary blood vessels. He continued glycocalyx research as a postdoctoral fellow in Brian Duling’s lab at the University of Virginia and returned to Amsterdam in 1997. Hans Vink was awarded a Research Fellowship from the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (2000 – 2005) and became Established Investigator of the Netherlands Heart Foundation in 2005. In 2006 he moved to the department of Physiology at Maastricht University, where he continues glycocalyx research as a Principle Investigator within the CArdiovascular Research Institute Maastricht in close collaboration with the department of Vascular Medicine at the Academic Medical Center in Amsterdam. |

Jurgen van Teeffelen
Postdoctoral Fellow
Jurgen van Teeffelen studied Medical Biology at the University of Utrecht and graduated in 1997 on his studies on myocardial interstitial fluid balance and cardiac contraction at the department of Medical Physics of the University of Amsterdam. Jurgen studied vasomotor control of resistance vessels during muscle activity as a postdoctoral associate at the John B. Pierce Laboratory at Yale University until 2000, and returned to Amsterdam to study the role of endothelial glycocalyx in control of blood flow in heart and skeletal muscle. Currently, he’s a postdoctoral fellow at the department of Physiology at Maastricht University, where he’s in charge of research projects on the role of the glycocalyx in control of blood flow (Netherlands Heart Foundation) and regulation of glucose transport to tissues (Netherlands Diabetes Foundation). |

Bernard van den Berg
Postdoctoral Fellow
Bernard van den Berg got his PhD at the Department of Infectious Diseases, Leiden University Medical Center in 1999, and was subsequently introduced to glycocalyx research at the department of Medical Physics of the University of Amsterdam as a postdoctoral fellow on the roles of the glycocalyx in myocardial perfusion and coronary endothelial function in health and disease. He studied regulation of hyaluronan synthesis in endothelial cells at the department of Molecular and Vascular Medicine, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School in the laboratory of Bill Aird and Bob Rosenberg from 2004 – 2006. He’s currently a postdoctoral fellow at the department of Physiology at Maastricht University on a research program to determine the role of the endothelial glycocalyx as a first line of defense against cardiovascular disease. |
