Research Gate profile

Richard B. Pouw is Research Fellow and group leader at the Department of Immunopathology of Sanquin Research, the Dutch Blood Supply Foundation, in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. His research group focuses on complement regulation and dysregulation on human surfaces in relation to immunological diseases and with special interest in FH and its related proteins.

Short CV

In 2012 he graduated in Biomedical Sciences at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Richard performed his PhD studies on FH and FHR proteins at Sanquin Research and obtained his PhD Cum laude from the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Amsterdam in 2018. He joined the Molecular Pharmacy lab of Daniel Ricklin at the University of Basel for 4 years before returning to Sanquin Research in 2022 where he continues to work on the complement system in immunopathology
