Job VERDONSCHOT - Maastricht, Netherlands
Job Verdonschot finished his bachelor molecular life sciences in 2010 at Maastricht University. With the ambition to combine research and clinic in the future, he combined a research master Cardiovascular Biology and Medicine with a bachelor in medicine. For his senior internship he joined the clinical group of Prof. Dr. S. Heymans under daily supervision of Drs. Mark Hazebroek to focus on the viral, genetic and metabolic triggers on the development of dilated cardiomyopathy.
After multiple internships at the department of clinical genetics at the Academic hospital of Maastricht, he was granted a Kootstra Talent Fellowship on a proposal focused on increasing the diagnostic yield of genetic diagnostics in patients with a dilated cardiomyopathy. His main interest is in (clinical) cardiogenetics, the unraveling of new disease-causing genes and the determination of the pathogenicity of mutations in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.
