Her work explores the molecular mechanisms of peroxisome and mitochondrial protein targeting, biogenesis pathways, and membrane protein functionality. Key contributions include studies on PEX14 overexpression effects, ABC transporter targeting signals, and comparative genomics of PEX proteins.

Recent publications highlight her expertise in peroxisomal membrane protein targeting (2023), organelle cross-talk in human cells (2024), and foundational reviews on biogenesis factors like Pex3/Pex19 (2019, 2023).

She collaborates with researchers on peroxisome-mitochondrion interactions and contributes to academic training in biology at the University of Groningen.
