Moniek de Maat

Moniek de Maat is a Full Professor in the Department of Hematology at Erasmus MC, Faculty of Medicine. Her work bridges clinical and molecular hematology, with a focus on hemostasis, thrombosis, and bleeding disorders.

Her primary research interests include:

• Fibrinogen and its variants (e.g., fibrinogen γ')
• Von Willebrand factor dynamics
• Platelet function and granule deficiencies
• Ischemic stroke in metabolic disease
• Biofilm formation in cardiovascular infections

The recent publications show a strong trend toward understanding molecular mechanisms of clotting in high-risk patient populations, including those with diabetes, cardiovascular implants, and undergoing cardiac interventions. Her work integrates biochemical analysis with clinical outcomes to improve diagnostics and anticoagulation strategies.

Moniek de Maat supervises junior researchers and has contributed to major collaborative studies, including consortium-based research. Although specific awards are not listed, her role as full professor and high research output reflect significant scientific recognition.

She is actively involved in research teams focusing on thrombosis and hemostasis, contributing to both basic science and translational projects. Her work is frequently published in high-impact hematology and cardiovascular journals.
