Development and evaluation of complex
healthcare interventions
Helene Grietje (Heleen) van der Meer was born on 5 August 1990 in Papenburg, Germany, to Wytze Jan van der Meer, dentist, and Klaaske van der Meer- Jansen, cardiac care nurse. She grew up in Germany together with her younger sister and brother. In 2009 she obtained her Abitur (final exam) at the Gymnasium Papenburg and started her studies in pharmacy at the University of Groningen.
Heleen first became acquainted with research in the field of pharmacotherapy during her Bachelors studies. The foundation for her doctoral thesis was laid during the project she undertook in Sydney, Australia under supervision of Dr. Lisa Pont and Prof. Dr. Katja Taxis for her Masters in Pharmacy in 2013/14. On her return to the Netherlands, she accepted a temporary appoint-ment as a researcher with Prof. Taxis and in the same year gave her first podium presentation at an inter-national scientific conference in Boston, US. She was awarded her Masters in Pharmacy in 2016 and com-pleted her PhD in 2018. Heleen lives in The Hague and works as a postdoctoral researcher under supervision of Prof. Taxis on the development and implementation of patient material for deprescribing in older people. In addition to her studies and PhD research, Heleen has been active within various committees. For example, in 2016/17 she organized the PhD Day, a career event for 900 PhD students/postdocs. Furthermore she loves tennis and sailing and she has a passion for traveling.
