The RADAR consortium was founded in 2022 by professor Michel Reijnen from the Rijnstate hospital in Arnhem, The Netherlands. It now consists of nine team members from several clinical and academic partners. Below you can find out more about these individual team members and our partners.
Team members
Michel Reijnen – Chair of the RADAR consortium
Michel Reijnen (MD, PhD) is a vascular surgeon working in the Rijnstate hospital. He is involved in multiple trials in the endovascular area and initiator and principal investigator of various (inter)national multicenter randomized trials and registries. Being an early adaptor, he has been involved in the early phases of various innovations in the endovascular field, including the Covered Endovascular Reconstruction of the Aortic Bifurcation (CERAB) technique. Michel is professor of endovascular imaging and innovation at the Multi-Modality Medical Imaging (M3I) group of the University of Twente. He published over 250 peer reviewed manuscripts and book chapters and is reviewer of several journals and a regular faculty member of several international symposia. Michel is the chair of the RADAR consortium.
Rianne van Rijswijk – Coordinating Researcher of the RADAR consortium
Rianne van Rijswijk (M.Sc.) received her Bachelor (2017) and Master degree (2021) in Technical Medicine from the University of Twente. During her Masters she specialized in medical imaging and interventions. Rianne is a Technical Physician and PhD student at the department of Vascular Surgery at the Rijnstate hospital, with an affiliation at the Multi-Modality Medical Imaging (M3I) group of the University of Twente. Her PhD focuses on prediction of abdominal aortic aneurysm shrinkage after endovascular repair, with a special interest in imaging parameters. Rianne is the coordinating researcher for the RADAR consortium.
Marko Bogdanovic
Marko Bogdanovic (MD) is a resident and PhD student at the Karolinska Insitutet in Stockholm. He is part of the Stockholm Aneurysm Research (STAR) Group where his PhD research focusses on morphological and biomechanical assessment of abdominal aortic aneurysms, before and after (endovascular) surgery.
Bob Geelkerken
Bob Geelkerken (MD, PhD) is vascular surgeon in the Medisch Spectrum Twente and professor at the Multi-Modality Medical Imaging (M3I) group of the University of Twente. His present research focusses on clinical translation of advanced technologies for diagnosis and treatment of vascular disorders as mesenteric ischemia, aortic aneurysms and end stage PAOD.
Erik Groot Jebbink
Erik Groot Jebbink (PhD) is assistant professor at the Multi-Modality Medical Imaging (M3I) group of the University of Twente and Technical Physician at the department of Vascular Surgery at the Rijnstate hospital. His research interests focus on the interaction between blood flow and endovascular treatment solutions, based on in vitro and in vivo measurements.
Joy Roy
Joy Roy (MD, PhD) is vascular surgeon at the Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm and senior researcher at the Department of Molecular Medicine and Surgery of Karolinska Insitutet. There, Joy is part of the Stockholm Aneurysm Research (STAR) Group which aims to improve knowledge of the pathogenesis and etiology of aneurysms, and improve aneurysm diagnostics.
Jelmer Wolterink
Jelmer Wolterink (PhD) is an assistant professor in the Mathematics of Imaging & Artificial Intelligence (MIA) group of the University of Twente. His research interests are in machine learning for medical image analysis and personalized medicine, in particular generative models and geometric deep learning approaches.
Kak Khee Yeung
Kak Khee Yeung (MD, PhD) is a vascular surgeon and associate professor at Amsterdam University Medical Center. She is also the principal investigator of translational vascular surgery with a specific interest in aortic aneurysms, complex endovascular aortic surgery and aortic occlusive disease.
Clark Zeebregts
Clark Zeebregts (MD, PhD) is vascular surgeon in the University Medical Center of Groningen and professor at the Department of Vascular Surgery of the University Medical Center of Groningen. His research focusses on applied endovascular techniques, carotid surgery and vascular prosthetic graft infections.
