Miranda de Graaf

Dr. Miranda de Graaf is Associate Professor in Virology at Erasmus MC, Erasmus University Rotterdam, specializing in viral evolution and metagenomic surveillance. Her research advances molecular tools for public health response to emerging viruses.

Research pillars include:

• Norovirus adaptation in immunocompromised hosts
• Development of Jovian platform for accessible viral metagenomics
• Wastewater-based epidemiology for pandemic surveillance
• Bacteriophage applications against antimicrobial resistance

Recent studies focus on optimizing viral detection in complex samples and translating metagenomic discoveries into clinical and public health interventions. Her group collaborates extensively with public health agencies to implement surveillance systems.
