Welcome to my homepage at OpenWetWare! I'm an Anesthesiologist and Fellow in Intensive Care Medicine (until 07/2011) at the Department of Intensive Care Medicine (H van der Hoeven, MD, PhD), University Hospital Nijmegen. Until July 2010 I used to work as an Anesthesiologist at the Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care (H van Aken, MD), University Hospital Muenster, and was a member of the Collaborative Research Center (SFB) 656 MoBil: "Molecular Cardiovascular Imaging - from mouse to man", Muenster, Germany and a Research Fellow at the Theilmeier Lab. Since 2008 I have been working as Emergency physician (Notarzt) and physician for interhospital transport of critically ill patients at Berufsfeuerwehr Muenster, Berufsfeuerwehr Dortmund, Kreis Steinfurt and Kreis Kleve, Germany. From 02/2006 until 03/2007 I was doing a Postdoc at [http://avm.ucsf.edu/ Dr. Young/Dr. Yang's lab at the Center for Cerebrovascular Research] at the Department of Anesthesia (R Miller, MD) at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), CA, USA.
