Bas Lendemeijer

Bas Lendemeijer is a Researcher at Erasmus MC, affiliated with the Department of Psychiatry. His work focuses on stem cell biology, neuroscience, virology, and medical research. He completed his doctoral thesis in 2021, titled 'Leveraging human induced pluripotent stem cells for modeling brain diseases.' His research includes studying astrocyte functionality derived from pluripotent stem cells, standardizing microphysiological systems, and investigating SARS-CoV-2 variants' neurovirulence. Lendemeijer's contributions span both in vitro and in vivo models to explore cellular mechanisms and disease pathways. His recent work emphasizes translational research, aiming to bridge stem cell technologies with clinical applications in neurology and psychiatry.
