Biography
Dr. Gisela Slaats studied Molecular Life Sciences with a major in Biomedicine at Wageningen University (WUR). Her PhD (cum laude, faculty of medicine UU) was performed in the laboratory of Prof. Marianne Verhaar and co-supervised by Prof. Nine Knoers and Dr. Rachel Giles. During her PhD she worked as a visiting student researcher at Stanford University School of Medicine. Gisela continued her work on renal ciliopathies as a postdoc in the laboratory of Prof. Bernhard Schermer at the University Hospital Cologne (Germany). Since 2022 she works as an assistant professor in the Regenerative Medicine Center Utrecht, department of Nephrology. Here, Gisela is using human kidney organoids in fundamental and translational research about genetic kidney diseases and aims to improve treatment strategies for kidney diseases. In addition, she is co-PI on the Horizon Europe TheRaCil project (2023), which is a consortium that works on therapies for renal ciliopathies.
