Biography

Biography

Marianne Boes heads the pediatric immunology laboratory at the UMC Utrecht, embedded in the Center for Translational Immunology. Her team focuses on approaches for harnessing the strength of the immune response and its promise to redirection using immune response modification, as preventive or therapeutic medicine. Boes trained in the USA in immunology and cell biology research (1996-2008). She performed PhD research at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), at the Koch Institute for integrative Cancer Research under supervision of prof. Jianzhu Chen. Here she studied immunodeficiency mechanisms using mouse models. Postdoctoral work she performed at Harvard Medical School in the laboratory of prof. Hidde Ploegh.

In 2004, Dr. Boes started her independent research lab at Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School, financed in part by an NWO-Veni grant in 2004 and a large NIH-RO1 grant that was awarded to her.  She is the founding chair of the Young Academy of the UMC Utrecht (chair Sept 2019-Jan 2022) and board member of the CUCo working group of the Young Academies of the Strategic Alliance between TU-Eindhoven, Wageningen, Utrecht University and UMC-Utrecht, 2019-2022. Boes serves as coordinator of the course 'Advanced Immunology' and van Kinsbergen Advanced+ Immunology for PhD students. She is current member of the I&I graduate school teaching committee and the Board of Examiners, subcommittee Assessment Support Panel (ASP) @ GSLS-life Sciences Academy. She thoroughly enjoys to meet and learn from researchers, patients and societal partners in different fields.
