Cécile Deelman-Driessen

I am a molecular research technician.

Background

I started working in the Virus Ecology and Evolution group in November 2021. Before that, I have been a molecular research technician at the University of Groningen and the UMCG since 1995.

My role within the Virus Ecology and Evolution (VEE) group is quite diverse. Recently I’ve set up a ML2 laboratory for cell culture (for arthropod-derived and vertebrate-derived cell lines) and flavivirus-related experiments. My main tasks will be running the lab, and to support researchers and students. In the near future I also will be focusing on cell lines as a model to explore evolutionary constraints on specific flaviviruses.
