Kiki van Bilsen

Kiki van Bilsen is a Researcher in the Department of Internal Medicine at Erasmus University Rotterdam, specializing in translational immunology with clinical applications in ocular autoimmune diseases.

Her core research interests include:

• Immunology
• Autoimmune Diseases
• Ocular Immunology
• Rheumatology
• B Cell Biology
• Regulatory T Cells

Analysis of her publication timeline reveals a consistent focus on molecular mechanisms in retinal tissues (2011-2015) transitioning to clinical immunology applications (2020-2023). Her work bridges laboratory investigations of TNF-alpha responses and drug toxicity in retinal pigment epithelium with patient-centered studies on biologic therapies like rituximab for scleritis and biosimilar switching in autoimmune disorders, demonstrating an integrated bench-to-bedside approach.
