Dominique PV de Kleijn's Biography



Dominique PV de Kleijn, Professor Experimental Vascular Surgery, Professor Netherlands Heart Institute, University Medical Center Utrecht, The Netherlands

Prof. Dr. Dominique PV de Kleijn is molecular biologist and chemist and professor of Exp. Vascular Surgery at UMC Utrecht and professor at the Netherlands Heart Institute. From 2012 to 2016, he was Research Professor of Surgery at NUS/NUHS and preclinical director of the Cardiovascular Research Institute (CVRI) Singapore. He was until 2016 professor of Cardiovascular Immunology and co-chair of Experimental Cardiology at UMC Utrecht. Since 1997 he is coordinating cardiovascular research from basic science, animal myocardial infarction and atherosclerotic studies (pig and sheep) towards clinical biobanking studies. His research interests are: The innate immune system in cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis & Biomarkers predictive for primary & secondary events with a focus on plasma extracellular vesicles. He has more then 275 publications and a H-factor of 78.

Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is with the cardiovascular events of Ischemic Heart Disease and Stroke, the number 1 and 2 cause of death in the world and expect to increase especially in Asia. We use plasma extracellular vesicle (EV) protein content of vesicles from plasma sub-fractions on plasma of stroke and peripheral artery disease(PAD) patients, patients after carotid atherectomy (CEA) and patients suspected for chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). Using 25 ul of plasma, we developed an automated 96-well based protocol using sequential precipitation. Using samples of the AtheroExpress, the largest ongoing CEA biobank we try to early detect the risk of a second Major Adverse Cardiovascular Event (MACE: myocardial infarction, stroke or cardiovascular death) in PAD and CEA patients. Identification of such high risk patients is very important for possible (expensive) add-on pharmaceutical therapy or the decision to operate or not. Sequential precipitation for EV isolation is also used for the diagnosis of CCS.
