My research covers the full breadth of antimicrobial stewardship, with particular attention to intensive care and to implementing antimicrobial stewardship programmes in LMICs. It is part of the Radboud research programme 'Optimal Infectious Disease care and Outbreak management', which I also coordinate. It pursues the following aims in three domains
– Studying innovations in antimicrobial therapy and microbiological diagnostics relevant to antimicrobial stewardship (innovation science approach)
– Studying methods to promote the implementation of antimicrobial stewardship interventions (measuring and improving; a health science approach)
– Translating the insights from the two areas above into education that is representative and scalable, and scientifically evaluating antimicrobial stewardship education, particularly in low-resource settings (educational research approach)
