Pieter Leenen serves as Associate Professor of Immunology at Erasmus MC, with extensive research output comprising 183 publications and 10 supervised works. His academic profile is anchored in immunological research with significant contributions to macrophage biology and translational medicine.
His research spans Macrophage Immunology (100% fingerprint relevance), Precursor Immunology (35%), Monoclonal Antibody development (30%), and Cell Line studies (21%). Key focus areas include Listeria monocytogenes interactions (19%), Phagocytosis mechanisms (17%), Dendritic Cell function (17%), and Differentiation Antigen research (16%). Current work examines macrophage polarization in angiogenesis, cancer metastasis through blood-brain barriers, and immunometabolic interactions in disease contexts.
Recent publications demonstrate interdisciplinary reach across oncology, endocrinology, and psychiatry. Notable collaborations include the Lifelines cohort study on glucocorticoids and cardiovascular disease, and PharmLines initiative examining metabolic syndrome in autistic adults. His work shows significant engagement with clinical translation, evidenced by multiple peer-reviewed articles in high-impact journals with substantial Mendeley readership (up to 20 readers) and media coverage (3 news outlets).
Supervision activities encompass 10 mentored projects, though specific student names aren't listed. Research impact is demonstrated through citations (up to 4 in Web of Science), open-access downloads (up to 36), and social media engagement across X, Facebook, and Bluesky platforms.
