Simone Wielders

Technical staff

Simone Wilders has been working as technician at the Department of Biochemistry of Maastricht University since 1988.

The first 10 years, she was involved in the development of the automatic measurement of thrombin generation in plasma at the group of Prof. Coen Hemker. The next 10 years, she developed and performed analysis on the blood-material interface and investigated the interaction between blood platelet activation and the coagulation system at the group of Dr Theo Lindhout. For four years she has worked at the group of Dr Gerry Nicolaes on expression and characterisation of recombinant variants of coagulation proteins. At the group of Dr Elisabetta Castoldi, she has studied for 4 years coagulation Factor V deficiency and the interaction between FV and TFPIa. Since 2017, she has been working at the laboratory for clinical thrombosis and hemostasis of Prof. Hugo ten Cate and has been involved in clinical oriented studies.

Furthermore, Simone performs education and management tasks and she is prevention officer and biological safety expert of the Department of Biochemistry.
