dr. M.N.A. Bijman (Marcel)

After highschool in Enschede I studied Biology in Groningen (class of 1996). During my masters I focused on Immunology and Cancer Biology, with a touch of human behaviour, metabolic disorders and physiology. In 2001 I started a PhD-project at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (Pinedo-Group) on the effects of anticancer agents on cell motility in tumors. During my PhD I got infected by an education-virus, so I ended up as a teacher in Leeuwarden (Noordelijke Hogeschool). In the meantime, we decided that Twente is by far the best part of the Netherlands to build a family life. Consequently, I was lucky to become a highschool teamleader and biologyteacher in Haaksbergen. Via my work for the department of Pre-University of the UT I ended up as a cellbiology and biochemistry teacher at the department of DBE and AST of this great university.
