Congratulations Dr Erika Van Nieuwenhove!

A huge round of congratulations for Dr Erika Van Nieuwenhove, who successfully defended her PhD. Erika set for gold standard for PhD defences, with an outstanding presentation and masterful question time. Erika's thesis was on inborn errors of immunity, with her PhD covering multiple new genetic mechanisms for PIDs, including mutations in ADA2 and Ikaros, plus a machine learning-driven approach to the diagnosis of JIA. The work is not yet finished either - stayed tuned for more Van Nieuwenhove papers on new genetic causes of neutropenia! A future leader in pediatric immunology and rheumatology!
