My name is Bonnez Quintijn, I am a PhD researcher at KU Leuven Campus Kulak Kortrijk, Department of Chemistry, IRF Life Sciences, Laboratory for Thrombosis Research. In 2020, I obtained a master's degree in Biochemistry and Biotechnology at KU Leuven, which reflects my interests in protein dynamics and molecular biology. My PhD research projects focus on (1) the development of ADAMTS13 diagnostic assays for TTP disease, (2) the generation of fully human anti-ADAMTS13 antibodies isolated from single B cells from acute TTP patients and (3) unravelling the mechanism of long-range structural crosstalk during ADAMTS13 preactivation using HDX-MS.
