Saskia Rombach

Saskia Rombach is a Researcher at the Department of Internal Medicine, Erasmus MC. Her work focuses on ocular immunology with particular emphasis on uveitis, ocular tuberculosis, and diagnostic biomarkers. She collaborates internationally, notably with institutions in Indonesia and the Netherlands, investigating disease mechanisms and clinical outcomes in autoimmune and infectious eye conditions.

Research interests include biomarker discovery for differential diagnosis of uveitis subtypes, application of artificial intelligence in retinal imaging analysis, and management of adverse drug reactions related to biological therapies. Her studies have explored geographic variations in ocular TB presentation between low- and high-endemic regions, contributing to evidence-based treatment guidelines.

Recent work emphasizes clinical outcomes of macular edema in ocular TB patients and the role of BAFF/CXCL9 biomarkers in distinguishing sarcoidosis from tuberculosis. She has pioneered AI-driven approaches for early disease detection through retinal vasculature analysis, proposing transformative diagnostic paradigms.
