Linette van Duijn

Linette van Duijn is a Researcher at Erasmus MC, General Practice, affiliated with Erasmus University Rotterdam. Her work focuses on reproductive biology with emphasis on embryo development, IVF outcomes, and maternal environmental influences. She has conducted studies on embryo-uterus interactions, maternal obesity impacts, and culture medium effects on embryonic growth.

Education: Completed her doctoral thesis in 2023 titled 'The periconception environment of the human embryo and the impact on reproductive and pregnancy outcomes' at Erasmus University Rotterdam.

Research Interests: Includes preimplantation embryo development, morphokinetic analysis, hormonal influences on oocyte maturation, and sex-specific embryonic growth patterns. She investigates how maternal factors like BMI and IVF protocols affect embryogenesis and pregnancy success rates.

Key Contributions: Developed predictive models for IVF success using morphokinetic data and pioneered studies on prorenin's role in embryo development. Her work bridges clinical IVF practices with developmental biology insights.

Grants & Advising: Collaborates with researchers across reproductive endocrinology and biostatistics. Supervised multidisciplinary projects involving clinical, biochemical, and epidemiological methodologies.

Labs & Teams: Active in the Rotterdam Periconception Cohort research group, focusing on longitudinal studies of early embryonic environments.
