M.G.H. Betjes

M.G.H. Betjes is a Researcher in the Department of Internal Medicine at Erasmus MC, specializing in transplant immunology and nephrology. The research focuses on kidney transplantation, graft survival, and immune responses, particularly involving T cells and HLA antibodies.

The research interests center on Transplant Immunology, Kidney Transplantation, and Graft Survival. Key areas include alloreactive T cell responses, dendritic cell function, and the impact of donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies. The work integrates clinical data with immunological mechanisms to improve transplant outcomes.

The recent publications highlight a strong focus on factors affecting kidney graft survival, including pre-transplant biomarkers, donor age, and immune activation. Studies span from clinical case reports to immunological assays, reflecting a translational research approach. Recurring themes include HLA antibodies, T cell subsets, and surgical innovations in transplantation.
