Maaike is Consultant Paediatric Immunologist at GOSH

“My goal as an innovation officer is to bridge the gap where healthcare frequently falls behind societal progress, particularly in data-related areas. 

What excites me about DRIVE and the CIU is their ability to bring together diverse expertise! The crucial step is to work together with our healthcare professionals, patients and families. Positive change requires a clear purpose and sense of urgency first. 

My primary focus is on advancing Human Phenotype Ontology tools, ensuring a universal language for describing clinical signs and symptoms in children with rare diseases.”
