Curriculum Vitae 200 CURRICULUM VITAE Wouter Willem Woud was born on the 21st of July 1990 in Zaandam, The Netherlands. He attended the VWO from 2002 to 2008 at the Sint Michael College, Zaandam, with a focus on nature and health. After finishing his BSc Bio-Exact at the University of Amsterdam in 2012 he completed an MSc Life Sciences at the Free University. During his MSc, he specialized in Systems Biology with an emphasis on - and affinity for ‘wet lab’-techniques. After graduating in 2015, he decided to travel through New Zealand, where he later picked up a position as research technician at Innate Immunotherapeutics Limited - a small start-up pharmaceutical company in Auckland. Happily extending his visit into a 15-month experience (acquiring a ‘kiwi’ accent in the process), he returned to The Netherlands in 2017. In January 2018, he started his PhD project at the Rotterdam Transplant Institute within the department of Internal Medicine, section Nephrology and Transplantation at the Erasmus MC, under the supervision of prof. Carla C. Baan, dr. Martin J. Hoogduijn, and dr. ir. Karin Boer. In this project, he developed and validated an Imaging Flow Cytometry-based assay for the direct detection of single Extracellular Vesicles in complex, clinically relevant biofluids. This thesis is the culmination of this research. Wouter now works as a post-doctoral reseacher at ExoVectory, continuing to study the therapeutic applications of Extracellular Vesicles.
