Amée Buziau

Post doc

Dr Amée Buziau obtained her master’s degree Nutrition and Health at Wageningen University & Research. During her studies, she conducted her bachelor internship at the Human Nutrition Unit at The University of Auckland (New Zealand) and her master internship at the School of Public Health at the University of Queensland (Australia). In 2018, she started her PhD research at CARIM under supervision of Prof. Martijn Brouwers, Prof. Coen Stehouwer, and Prof. Casper Schalkwijk. During her PhD-trajectory, she focused on the role of fructose in the pathogenesis of intrahepatic lipid accumulation, for which she employed multiple research methodologies, including genetic epidemiology (Mendelian randomization), nutritional epidemiology, experiments with humans, and mice experiments.

 

In 2023, Amée was awarded the CARIM Postdoctoral Talent Fellowship to fund the first year of her postdoctoral research. This postdoctoral research was performed at the Stem Cell Institute Leuven (Belgium) in the group of Prof. Catherine Verfaillie. Her postdoctoral research focused on generating human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) and subsequently differentiating these hiPSC into hepatocytes, to further study the mechanisms of fructose-mediated intrahepatic lipid accumulation in vitro. Subsequently, she was granted a 3-year personal Junior Fellowship from the Dutch Diabetes Foundation to study the role of the pentose-phosphate pathway in the pathogenesis of fructose-mediated intrahepatic lipid accumulation by using hiPSC-derived hepatocytes, large epidemiological studies, and genetic epidemiology (Mendelian randomization).
