Ruth Huizinga

Ruth Huizinga is an Assistant Professor at Erasmus MC, specializing in Immunology. Her research focuses on autoimmune disorders, particularly Guillain-Barré syndrome, and the role of immunoglobulin therapies in neurological conditions.

• Guillain-Barré Syndrome: Investigating genetic variations in Fc-gamma receptors and their impact on disease progression and treatment response.
• Neurofilament Biomarkers: Developing clinical prognostic models using neurofilament light chain levels in cerebrospinal fluid.
• Therapeutic Mechanisms: Studying pharmacodynamics of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) courses and their effects on regulatory T cells and adverse events.
• B Cell Dynamics: Exploring autoantibody glycosylation patterns during B cell depletion therapies for inflammatory diseases.
