Since August 2023, Eline Hoes has been a PhD student at the Synapse Research Institute and the Limburg Clinical Research Center (LCRC). Her work focuses on coagulation mechanisms and cardiovascular risks in haemodialysis patients, a population that faces the paradoxical risk of both bleeding and thrombosis. By studying how dialysis impacts the coagulation system, she aims to uncover insights that can ultimately improve patient care. Having transitioned from fundamental to more clinical research, Eline finds it especially rewarding to work on projects with tangible, real-world applications.
Eline earned her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Biomedical Sciences (cum laude) at the University of Antwerp, where she specialised in Molecular Mechanisms of Disease with a focus on (neuro)genetics. She gained early research experience at the VIB Center for Molecular Neurology, investigating short tandem repeat expansions related to Alzheimer’s disease. For her Master’s thesis, she joined the COGNET team of the MEDGEN research group, combining biostatistics and laboratory work to study genetic mechanisms underlying cognitive disorders.
