Curriculum Vitae
Anneloes Ruifrok was born on June 24th 1982 in Groningen. After
graduation from high school (in the Netherlands, and thereafter in the United Kingdom), she studied Medicine at the University of Groningen. During college she started her research on the effects of losing weight on pregnancy outcomes.
After conducting research with Prof. dr. R.J. Norman in Australia, she obtained her medical degree in 2009. She worked as a resident at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of the Meander Medisch Centrum in Amersfoort and subsequently in the Ikazia hospital in Rotterdam. During the final stage of this period, she continued her research on the effects of lifestyle intervention on weight loss and pregnancy outcomes in overweight and obese women, under supervision of prof. dr. B.W.J. Mol. In December 2012 she began to work fulltime on her thesis, which was supervised by prof. dr. B.W.J. Mol (promotor), prof. C.J.M. de Groot (promotor, VUmc) and dr. M.N.M. van Poppel (EMGO Institute). She was simultaneously involved in the Global Obstetrics Network initiative, a network that improves international interaction and collaboration among groups that perform clinical trials and observational studies in maternal foetal medicine and obstetrics in order to increase the quality of research. In July 2013 she started her residency in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the VU Medical Centre (Head of Department prof. dr. J.I.P. de Vries) and the Kennemer Gasthuis in Haarlem (Heads of the Department dr. J.P. Lips and dr. J. Gianotten). Anneloes Ruifrok is married to Egbert Nieuwenhuis and has a son, Teun.
