Hanna Lammertse was a PhD student in the group of Matthijs Verhage. She primarily worked with patch-clamp electrophysiology on mouse or human (iPS-derived) neurons to study synaptic release mechanisms and the role of STXBP1 plays in this process. Hanna was involved in setting up the STXBP1 information center.

Hanna has defended her thesis entitled ‘From synapse to symptom: Modelling the pathobiology of STXBP1 variants’ in November 2022.
