New employee IvD Utrecht

"I am Mieneke Luijendijk and live with husband and children (13 and 14) in Renswoude. In my spare time I like to be busy in the garden or you can find me outside in nature for a walk or a trip on the SUP. Besides that our greatest passion is traveling through Europe with our own built motorhome. For the past 19 years I have been working as a research analyst at the Translational Neuroscience department of the UMC Utrecht, the last ten years of which I also worked as animal facility manager. In that position, I have already collaborated a lot with the IvD in various areas, so I find it very fun and challenging to now start working on the other side of the line. My assignment at the IvD is to be the bridge between the shop floor, theory and policy. I hope to be present a lot in the various animal facilities that Utrecht has and look forward to meeting you in the coming months."
