Dr. Marijke Faas is an Associate Professor at the University of Groningen's Faculty of Medical Sciences. Her research focuses on immunoendocrinology, reproductive immunology, and maternal-fetal interactions, particularly in preeclampsia and obesity-related pregnancy complications. She investigates how maternal immune responses and gut microbiota influence fetal development. Faas holds editorial roles at Pregnancy Hypertension and is a member of multiple boards including the Society for the Study of Hypertension in Pregnancy.
Her work integrates immunology, endocrinology, and microbiology to address pregnancy-related disorders. Key themes include maternal obesity impacts, environmental toxin effects on placental function, and mechanisms of immune tolerance in pregnancy. Over 280 publications highlight her contributions to understanding fetal programming and maternal health.
Collaborations span global institutions, and her research aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and well-being. Faas leads projects in the Reproductive Origins of Adult Health and Disease program, emphasizing long-term outcomes of perinatal exposures.
