Spotlighting the people and projects that are a part of research at Leiden University Center for Infectious Diseases.
🧑🔬 Meet the Team: Koen Stam
From childhood bug-hunting to vaccine research, Koen bridges immunology and data science at LUCID. His role is in turning complex, scattered data into accessible insights to better understand differing vaccine responses.
