Chapter 11 Curriculum Vitae
Chapter 11 190 Curriculum Vitae The author of this thesis, Rodi Zutt was born on February first, 1984 in Warmenhuizen, The Netherlands. After completing secondary school at the ‘Murmellius Gymnasium’ in Alkmaar, she started her medical education at the University of Amsterdam. During medical school, she developed enthusiasm about the field of Neurology and did a research project on neuromuscular disorders at the department of Neurology of the AMC (Dr. A.J. van der Kooi and Professor M. de Visser). During this period she developed a diagnostic algorithm for patients with recurrent episodes of rhabdomyolysis. In December 2008, she obtained her medical degree (MD) and subsequently worked as a medical resident at the department of Neurology and Neurosurgery of the Medical Center in Alkmaar and Internal Medicine of the Kennemer Gasthuis in Haarlem for two years. In January 2011 she started her formal training as a neurological resident at the department of Neurology of the University Medical Center Groningen (Professor H.P.H. Kremer). Since 2014 she has combined her clinical work with research on myoclonus. Fascinated by movement disorders, she performed a one‐year fellowship in movement disorders at the UMCG (Professor M.A.J. de Koning‐Tijssen and Professor T. van Laar). During her fellowship, Rodi was awarded the annual prize of the Dutch Movement Disorder Society for the best scientific paper in 2015‐2016 ‘A novel diagnostic approach to patients with myoclonus’ published in Nature Review Neurology. Furthermore, she was involved in organising several (inter) national congresses including the ‘Dystonia training school’ in 2015 (European COST platform), the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society Congress ‘Myoclonus and other jerky movements’ in 2016, the ‘Functional Movement Disorders For Physiotherapists Symposium’ and ‘National Information Day For Patients With Movement Disorders’ in Groningen in 2017. In august 2017, she started as neurologist at the Haga Teaching Hospital in The Hague. Rodi is married to Jeroen Steenbergen and mother of Rosalie Julia.
