Mariëtte Boon

Mariëtte Boon is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Internal Medicine at Erasmus MC. Her research focuses on the intersection of stress physiology, hormonal regulation, and obesity, with particular emphasis on glucocorticoid mechanisms, HPA axis dysregulation, and metabolic consequences of chronic stress. She has contributed to both clinical and translational studies involving patients with obesity and genetic endocrine disorders.

Research Interests:

• Endocrine mechanisms underlying obesity
• Stress-hormone interactions (cortisol/cortisone)
• Longitudinal studies on growth and metabolic dysfunction
• Pharmacological interventions for obesity

Her publications analyze biomarkers like hair cortisol, appetite-regulating hormones, and genetic factors (e.g., MC4R deficiency) to understand obesity pathophysiology. Articles emphasize translational applications, linking basic endocrine research to clinical obesity management strategies.
