Wouter van Rijs

Wouter van Rijs is a researcher in the Department of Neurology at Erasmus University Medical Center, focusing on immunological and genetic mechanisms in autoimmune neuropathies. His work primarily investigates:

• Genetic variation in Fc-gamma receptors
• Antibody titer dynamics in Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS)
• Response to intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) therapy
• Post-infectious neurological complications

His recent research highlights the role of genetic polymorphisms in modulating IVIg efficacy for conditions like GBS and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). Collaboration with the IGOS consortium indicates global epidemiological research efforts.
