Jacqueline van de Wetering

Jacqueline van de Wetering is a researcher in the Department of Internal Medicine at Erasmus MC, focusing on kidney transplantation and graft outcomes. Her work integrates clinical research with immunological and metabolic factors influencing transplant success.

Her research interests center on improving kidney transplant outcomes through understanding donor-recipient compatibility, metabolic profiles such as oxalic acid levels, and immunological risks like donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies. She investigates how factors including donor age, body weight, and residual diuresis affect graft survival, with a strong emphasis on evidence synthesis through meta-analyses and large cohort studies.

The recent publications highlight a consistent focus on transplant nephrology, with key themes including graft survival, living donor transplantation, metabolic complications in kidney disease, and immunological barriers to successful transplantation. Her work frequently appears in high-impact journals such as Frontiers in Immunology, PLoS ONE, and the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.

She has contributed to significant collaborative research efforts, particularly within national kidney exchange and transplant programs in the Netherlands. Although no formal awards are listed, her research has been highlighted in news outlets and social media, indicating recognition in both academic and public spheres. She has supervised academic work, though specific student names are not disclosed.

Jacqueline van de Wetering is actively engaged in a research-intensive role at Erasmus MC, contributing to advancements in transplant medicine through rigorous clinical and translational research.
