To determine the need for repeated booster vaccinations in healthy individuals and to aid policymakers in future public health interventions for COVID-19. Gain insight into the immunogenicity of the additional bivalent booster vaccination in a representative sample of the healthy Dutch population. We aim to investigate three main topics: 
i) immunogenicity of bivalent vaccines after priming with adenovirus- or mRNA-based vaccines, 
ii) immunological recall responses and reactivity with relevant variants after booster vaccination, and 
iii) the necessity of booster vaccinations for the healthy population in the future.
 

My research focuses on the occurence of nocebo-effects in statin-intolerant. We try to identify patients who are statin-intolerant and that suffer from these effects. We hope that by identifying patients affected by the nocebo effect and allowing them to experientially understand its impact through an N=1 study design, they will experience fewer side effects from their statin treatment. This may help prevent the need to switch to expensive PCSK9 inhibitors.
