Edwin van der Pol,
Postdoctoral Researcher
Edwin van der Pol (edwinvanderpol.com) is a postdoc researcher at the Vesicle Observation Center in the Academic Medical Centre of the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. He studied applied physics with a specialization in optics and biophysics at the University of Twente in the Netherlands. In 2009, he graduated in the Complex Photonic Systems group and at the institute for Atomic and Molecular Physics on addressing single optical resonances in micropillar cavities. In 2015, he received his PhD cum laude on the topic of extracellular vesicle detection. Furthermore, he received the Young Investigator Award from the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (2011), a Research Excellence Grant from the European Metrology Research Programme (2013), the Poster prize of the Gordon research conference on Laser in Medicine and Biology (2014), the price for best oral presentation at the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles Conference (2015), and the PhD thesis award from the Dutch Society for Biophysics and Biomedical Engineering (2015). To make part of his inventions available to other vesicle researchers, Edwin co-founded the company Exometry (exometry.com).
