Lieke Kamphuis

Lieke Kamphuis is a Researcher in the Department of Pulmonary Medicine at Erasmus MC. Her work focuses on long-term outcomes of congenital respiratory disorders, pulmonary vascular physiology, and respiratory immunology. Key research areas include congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), and cystic fibrosis.

Her research explores quality-of-life impacts in adult survivors of CDH, pulmonary artery stiffness in preterm-born individuals, and immune-endothelial interactions in cystic fibrosis. Recent studies utilize advanced imaging (CMR) and single-cell transcriptomics to uncover disease mechanisms.

Collaborative efforts involve multidisciplinary teams across cardiology, immunology, and pediatric gastroenterology. Findings highlight exercise-related cardiac limitations in BPD patients and high GERD prevalence in CDH survivors, emphasizing the need for longitudinal care in congenital respiratory conditions.
