The SINTER Study examines bone strength, influenced by genetics, aging, and lifestyle. Osteoporosis, linked to low bone mass and high fracture risk, worsens with age
Bone: A rigid body tissue that makes up our body’s skeleton.
Craft: Skill and experience
BoneCraft.nl describes the expertise and experience of the Translational Genomics of the Skeleton team at Erasmus MC. Our group is committed to transforming genomic discoveries into tangible clinical solutions for individuals vulnerable to musculoskeletal disorders and other complex diseases.
Lines of research
Deep (musculo) skeletal phenotyping
Our research enhances musculoskeletal health by analyzing bone density, body composition, muscle strength, and spinal alignment. We improve fracture risk prediction and develop interventions through advanced analytical tools, including machine learning, applied to Big Data from population and patient cohorts, integrating genetics, environment, and lifestyle for better health outcomes.
Translational Genomics
Translational Genomics, where cutting-edge genetic research meets practical healthcare solutions. Our focus includes personalized treatments, genomics-assisted decision-making, and integrating clinical and population-based studies. We aim to improve patient outcomes, enhance disease understanding, and develop targeted interventions.

Visiting Research
I am a visiting PhD researcher from Ireland. I obtained my BSc and ME in Computer and Electronic Engineering at University College Dublin in Ireland and subsequently started my PhD there in 2021. The focal point of my research is developing artificial intelligence (AI) tools to accurately segment and detect landmarks on radiographs.
- Favorite
I love running, playing tag rugby, and reading mystery novels.
