Biography
"My diagnosis started with" Good Measurement is Know "in relation to the question" What's going on? ". Good diagnostics asks for the right technology that is present in the technologically high-quality and international renowned sample laboratory. " Among other things, she was involved in the efficient operation of laboratory diagnostics. "This allows the patient to get a faster diagnosis and, on the other hand, efficient business management leads to the release of necessary space for innovation." The Rijke advocates greater cooperation within the laboratory diagnostics in the Erasmus MC. "Laboratory diagnostics are becoming increasingly important, not just for the attending physician, but also for the patient, who no longer has to go to the hospital for all tests because he or she can carry them home with point-of-care equipment. " The Department of Clinical Chemistry aims to be the forerunner in the development and implementation of new promising biomarkers, she says. An example of this is cortisol in main hair. "Main hair is a new analytical material for clinical chemical diagnostics. It is an interesting addition to the blood, urine and saliva used in the diagnostics."
