Marlies van Dijk is a researcher affiliated with the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG), University of Groningen, specializing in pulmonary diseases with a focus on emphysema and bronchoscopic interventions. Her work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and well-being. She collaborates internationally on studies involving endobronchial valves, lung volume reduction techniques, and clinical trials for severe emphysema patients. Key areas include evaluating treatment safety, assessing hyperinflation, and exploring surgical and non-surgical interventions for COPD.
Her research emphasizes translational medicine, combining clinical trials with physiological assessments. Recent studies highlight the feasibility of lung tensioning devices and the safety of surgical interventions post-endobronchial valve therapy. She has contributed to multidisciplinary projects such as the EFFORT trial and has published on alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency-related emphysema management.
