Fleur Poelkens is a resident internal medicine and combines this
with a PhD project in the group 'integrative physiology' of the
department of Physiology (AGIKO). Her research project focuses on
the effect of exercise training on insulin sensitivity, vascular
endothelial function and related genes in persons with the
metabolic syndrome. She tries to discover genes related to the
nitric oxide pathway of endothelial cells via micro-array analysis.
Thereafter she looks at the effect of regular exercise training on
these newly identified genes.
