Annick van de Ven

Dr. Annick van de Ven is an active medical researcher specializing in immunology and allergology with significant contributions to contrast media safety and immunodeficiency disorders. Her work focuses on clinical applications in radiology safety and primary immunodeficiency management.

Her research expertise spans Common Variable Immunodeficiency (100%), Immunodeficiency (47%), Hypersensitive Response (29%), and Contrast Medium reactions (29%). She serves on the ESUR Contrast Media Safety Committee, developing evidence-based guidelines for managing hypersensitivity reactions in radiological practice.

Recent publications demonstrate a dual research trajectory: 1) Contrast media safety protocols addressing both immediate and delayed hypersensitivity reactions, and 2) Immunological mechanisms in Common Variable Immunodeficiency with emphasis on gut microbiome interactions. Her work bridges clinical radiology and immunology, particularly in patient safety contexts.

Dr. van de Ven actively collaborates across European institutions, with notable contributions to

• Updated ESUR Contrast Media Safety Guidelines (2025)
• Microbiome analysis in immunodeficiency disorders
• Clinical management of nocturnal angioedema

Her research has garnered media attention with coverage in 1 news outlet and social media discussion across 6 X (Twitter) accounts, indicating translational impact beyond academic circles.
