Iris Boot

We extend a warm welcome to the AutoCRAT Project, Iris Boot!

Iris recently started as a researcher at Panaxea B.V.  She studied Psychology at the University of Leiden. During this time, she developed an interest in the research field of health sciences, which led to the Research Master in Health Sciences at Maastricht University. As part of the master’s degree, she did an internship at the Nutrition Biomed Research Institute in Australia.

After her studies, Iris started working as a Data Analyst at a transport company. Here, she further developed her analytical skills and gained experience in project management, but she missed the connection with healthcare. This made Panaxea a logical next step in her career. As a junior HTA researcher/consultant at Panaxea, she can apply the knowledge gained from her master’s and contribute to informed decision-making in healthcare. In addition to her work at Panaxea, Iris is a PhD candidate at Maastricht University. Her research focuses on the relationship between diet and the risk of developing bladder cancer.
