Jet Vervoort

Jet Vervoort is a Lecturer at the Laboratory of Nematology within Wageningen University & Research. With expertise in nematology and educational practices, Vervoort bridges biological sciences and pedagogy through interdisciplinary research and teaching innovations.

Active research interests include

• Nematode ecology and its impact on plant, animal, and human health
• Development of educational modules for skills-based learning
• Interdisciplinary approaches to understanding rhizosphere dynamics

Recent publications highlight Vervoort's dual focus on nematode biology (e.g., parasitic lineage evolution, rhizosphere interactions) and educational technology (e.g., peer feedback systems in higher education).

In collaborative projects like GM Crop Impact Assessment on Soil Ecosystems (ERGONema), Vervoort explored DNA barcoding to analyze nematode communities, contributing to soil ecology research.
