dr. G.C. Hassink (Gerco)

My name is Gerco Hassink. I’m a cell biologist with a background in ER membrane protein quality control, protein degradation, the ubiquitin system, and in the endolysosomal system. I performed my PhD at Leiden University Medical Center and continued my research on this subject at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, after which I did a second post-doc at Utrecht Medical Center focussing more on ubuquitin in the endolysosomal sytem. Currently I’m doing research and provide technical assistance here at the department of clinical neurophysiology. The research is in the field of neurophysiology which has both electrophysiological and celbiological aspects.

Research interests

In our lab we do electrophysiological measurements and cell biological measurements on cultured neuronal networks derived from human stem cells and of rat origin. We use these in vitro neuronal cultures as a model system for the brain to studie e.g. the effects and possible treatment of temporay hypoxia due to brain infarcts or cardial arrests.
