"I work on designing and optimizing new therapies" - Jeroen van de Giessen Researcher at ProQR
Jeroen works in our innovation department where they discover new potential therapies for rare eye conditions. In this process he encounters a legion of problems but, solving these is what he really enjoys doing. "Problem solving here means helping somebody else".
