POSITION
Professor of Experimental Neuroendocrinology at the Academic Medical Center (AMC) and the Hypothalamic Integration Mechanisms group at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience (NIN), Amsterdam, The Netherlands
RESEARCH
My major projects focus on understanding how the hypothalamic biological clock controls hormonal rhythms and energy metabolism. For this we mainly use the rat as an animal model. Important techniques include blood sampling from and targeted brain infusions in awake and

POSITION
I am an emeritus professor in Biochemistry at the University of Amsterdam (retired 2010).

RESEARCH
My research focussed on the human chromatin in its natural environment, i.e. the nucleus of cultured living human cells.
Aspects, such as the dynamic folding of the chromatin fiber inside the nucleus and local chemical modification of histones and DNA at genetic loci, are the physical and chemical basis for epigenetic regulation of gene expression. In my group we worked parallel on human
