After graduating from secondary school (Laar & Berg, Laren NH), he started medical school at the University of Amsterdam. From 2009 onwards, he worked at BISLIFE Foundation (formerly known as Bio Implant Services, BIS) as a chief retrieval technician for post-mortem tissue donation, leading the explantation procedures for bones and tendons, heart valves, and corneas. This provoked his interest in reconstructive surgical procedures with the use of allogeneic tissues. He undertook his rst research project on allograft reconstructions in orthopaedic oncology under supervision of dr. J.A.M. Bramer at the Academic Medical Center (Amsterdam).
Later, he started a formal PhD program on reconstructive techniques in musculoskeletal tumor surgery at the Leiden University Medical Center, under supervision of prof. dr. P.D.S. Dijkstra and prof. dr. R.G.H.H. Nelissen. He conducted several clinical studies in close collaboration with internationally renowned centers for orthopaedic oncology. During the years that followed, he was o ered the chance to follow additional academic courses, he published various scienti c papers in internationally acclaimed peer reviewed journals, and presented his research on numerous international meetings.
After nishing the majority of the work that is being presented in this PhD- thesis, he started his medical internships. He undertook elective internships in orthopaedic surgery at the Beit CURE International Hospital (Blantyre, Malawi) and the Academic Medical Center (Amsterdam), and did a senior internship in orthopaedics at the Haga hospital (The Hague). After completion of his internships, he started working at the Alrijne Hospital (Leiderdorp) as a resident in general surgery. In the future, he will pursue a further career in orthopaedic surgery.
