PERSONAL RESUME
Renée Marije van der Sluis was born on March 26th 1984 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. She finished secondary school in 2002 at the “Montessori Lyceum of Amsterdam”, obtaining her VWO diploma with a focus on biology, physics, chemistry and mathematics. After a year of orientation she started the study Biomedical Science at the University of Amsterdam and received the Bachelor degree in 2006. She continued with a master in immunology, which included two internships. The first internship (11 months) was performed in the Laboratory of Experimental Virol-ogy at the Academic Medical Centre of the University of Amsterdam under the su-pervision of Georgios Pollakis and Bill Paxton. The second internship (10 months) was supervised by Claudia Orelio, Timo van den Berg and Taco Kuijpers in the Department of Blood Cell Research at the Sanquin Research and Landsteiner Laboratory, Amsterdam. She received her Masters degree cum laude in 2008. Before starting her PhD research, Renée worked a brief period as a teacher assistant during the immunology course for medical biology students at the University of Amsterdam. In December 2008, she returned to the Laboratory of Experimental Virology at the Academic Medical Centre of the University of Amsterdam to start her PhD under the supervision of Ben Berkhout and Rienk Jeeninga. The aim of her research was to investigate HIV-1 latency in proliferating T cells and to explore novel mechanisms that can activate the latent virus. The results are described in this thesis.
