Sanne van den Berg

Sanne van den Berg is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Medical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases at Erasmus University Medical Center. Her research focuses on antimicrobial pharmacodynamics, bacterial infections, and the development of effective antibiotic strategies. She specializes in studying drug combinations and their efficacy against pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pneumoniae using in vitro and in vivo models.

Her work emphasizes translational research, integrating pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PKPD) modeling to optimize antibiotic treatment regimens. Notable projects include investigating synergistic effects of polymyxin B with rifampicin and minocycline, as well as evaluating novel agents like NOSO-502. Her studies often utilize murine infection models to assess drug efficacy in neutropenic conditions.

Dr. van den Berg collaborates extensively with researchers across disciplines, including pharmacology and infectious disease epidemiology. Her contributions have advanced understanding of antibiotic resistance mechanisms and clinical application of combination therapies.
