Curriculum vitae

Eveline Ultee was born on the 28

th

_{of August 1991 in Nieuwegein, the Netherlands. In 2009}

she graduated at College de Heemlanden in Houten. That same year she started her Bachelor

programme in Biology at the Wageningen University of Life Sciences, in Wageningen. As part

of the programme she completed her BSc research project, on the immunological effects

of extracts on dendritic cells and T cells. She finished her Bachelor programme in 2013

and continued that same year with her Master programme in Biology. Her MSc-thesis at

Wageningen University focussed on wound healing, by studying the effects of oral bacteria

on a human gingival cell line. As part of her Master programme, she conducted a research

internship at the Institute of Food Research in Norwich, United Kingdom. Here she studied

the chemotaxis signal transduction system of Campylobacter jejuni. In 2015 she finished her

MSc programme at Wageningen University. Thereafter she started her PhD programme in

2016 at Leiden University, under the shared supervision of Prof. dr. Ariane Briegel and Dr.

Dennis Claessen. The results of this PhD project are presented in this thesis.
