Hannah den Braanker

Hannah den Braanker is a Researcher at Erasmus MC's Department of Internal Medicine, specializing in immunology and rheumatology. Her work focuses on understanding autoimmune disease mechanisms, particularly in psoriatic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. She holds a doctoral degree from Erasmus MC (2025) investigating T cell dynamics in psoriasis progression.

Key research interests include systematic review methodologies, T cell biology, and advanced flow cytometry techniques. Her studies combine clinical data analysis with machine learning approaches to identify disease biomarkers and improve diagnostic criteria implementation.

Publications highlight trends in axial spondyloarthritis diagnoses post-ASAS criteria adoption and rheumatoid arthritis incidence patterns in outpatient settings. She collaborates with multidisciplinary teams across immunology and rheumatology, contributing to both clinical practice and technical workflow innovations in high-dimensional data analysis.

No scientific awards are listed, though her work shows strong citation impact in immunology and rheumatology fields (e.g., 25 citations for her flow cytometry workflow paper). Her research emphasizes translational applications, bridging basic immunology insights with clinical rheumatology practice.
