Hedwich Fardau Kuipers was born on March 30, 1979 in Leeuwarden, The Netherlands. In 1997 she received her secondary school degree at the Christian Grammar School Beyers Naudé in Leeuwarden and proceeded to study Biopharmaceutical Sciences at the Leiden University. During her study, she performed an internship at the department of Toxicology of the Leiden Amsterdam Center for Drug Research, under the supervision of Dr. S.M Schrier, Prof. Dr. A.P. IJzerman and Prof. Dr. G.J. Mulder.

Here she investigated the signal transduction pathways activated in neuroblastoma cells by extracellular adenosine that lead to protection from apoptosis. In 2001 she graduated and started as a PhD student at the section of Molecular Biology of the department of Immunohematology & Blood transfusion at the Leiden University Medical Center, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. P.J. van den Elsen. The research described in this PhD thesis was funded by the Dutch MS Research Foundation and was a collaboration with the department of Pathology of the VU University Medical Center in Amsterdam. Since 2006 Hedwich has continued her line of research as a scientist at the section of Neuropathology of the department of Pathology of the VU University Medical Center.

Hedwich Fardau Kuipers werd geboren op 30 maart 1979 in Leeuwarden. In 1997 behaalde zij haar gymnasiumdiploma aan het Christelijk Gymnasium Beyers Naudé te Leeuwarden, waarna zij de studie Bio-Farmaceutische Wetenschappen begon aan de Universiteit Leiden. Tijdens deze studie liep zij stage bij de vakgroep Toxicologie van het Leiden Amsterdam Center for Drug Research, onder leiding van Dr. S.M Schrier, Prof. Dr. A.P. IJzerman en Prof. Dr. G.J. Mulder. Tijdens deze stage bestudeerde zij de signaaltransductieroutes die in neuroblastomacellen door extracellulair adenosine aangezet worden en leiden tot bescherming tegen apoptose. Zij behaalde haar doctoraaldiploma in 2001 en begon vervolgens aan het promotieonderzoek beschreven in dit proefschrift bij de sectie moleculaire biologie van de afdeling Immunohematologie

& Bloedtransfusie in het Leids Universitair Medisch Centrum, onder leiding van Prof.

Dr. P.J. van den Elsen. Dit promotieonderzoek is uitgevoerd in samenwerking met de afdeling Pathologie van het VU Medisch Centrum te Amsterdam en is gesubsidieerd door de stichting MS Research. Sinds 2006 heeft Hedwich dit onderzoek voortgezet als onderzoeker bij de sectie neuropathologie van de afdeling Pathologie in het VU Medisch Centrum.

In addition to the effect of statins on lipid raft integrity, cholesterol depletion by statin treatment may affect not only the composition of cellular membranes and the expression

Omdat er een samenhang lijkt te zijn tussen de aanwezigheid van deze transcriptiefactoren en van CCR5 hebben we vervolgens onderzocht of deze transcriptiefactoren
