About us

It is of course logical, that you may be interested in those who have written this blog, so we will briefly introduce ourselves. We are five medical students (Jip, Pepijn, Jodie, Inge & Mirre) attending our third year at the Leiden University Medical Centre in the beautiful city Leiden. 
We have a special interest in the microbiome and its influence on our body, that is why we made this WebBlog. 

The weblog writers:

• Mirre Verstegen:   'Microbiome and Clostridium difficile                                         infection' and 'Faeces a cure?'
• Jodie Dekker:        'Parkinson's Disease, cause in the brain                                     or gut?' and 'Parkinson's Disease and                                       the microbiome'
• Inge van Eijsden:   'Fecal transplantation in Ulcerative Colitis'
