Sietske Doorenbos

Sietske Doorenbos is a researcher affiliated with the Faculty of Medical Sciences at the University of Groningen, specializing in the Nutrition Research in Medicine (NiM) group. Her work focuses on kidney transplantation, health-related quality of life, and biobank studies.

• Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
  • Poverty eradication
  • Good health and well-being
  • Sustainable food production

Her research explores molecular signatures in intestinal grafts, muscle mass and strength post-transplantation, and nutritional interventions to improve outcomes for transplant recipients. She is a key collaborator in the TransplantLines Biobank and Cohort Study, which investigates cellular and molecular changes in transplant patients.

Current collaborations span national and international institutions, with a strong focus on biomaterials, cohort analysis, and transplant medicine. Her recent work highlights the integration of biobank data with clinical outcomes to inform future medical practices.
