Biography
|
Erhard van der Vries (1980) is a molecular biologist (RUG, Groningen, 2006) who obtained his PhD in clinical virology in the lab of Albert Osterhaus and Charles Boucher (EMC, Rotterdam, 2014), on a thesis entitled Influenza Resistance to Antiviral Drugs. One of his main achievements during his PhD was the elucidation of a novel virus resistance mechanism by X-ray crystallography during an externship at the Crick institute (London, 2013). After his PhD he was employed as a postdoctoral fellow at the EMC to continue his work on a global influenza surveillance study.
From 2015-2017 he was appointed as a project leader at the newly established Research Center for Emerging Infections and Zoonoses (RIZ). At the RIZ, he built up a influenza lab from scratch to study influenza-host interactions and established a virus discovery pipeline using next-generation sequencing technology. After receiving personal grants from the Volkswagen Foundation (2016-2019) and Sequris (ongoing) he continued his research with his team at the Departments of Virology and Clinical Chemistry & Hematology at the University (Medical Center) Utrecht (NL) focusing on the interactions between viruses and the host (immune) cells.
Since 2019, Erhard is appointed as a senior scientist at Royal GD. He mainly focuses on the development of new molecular and virology assays
