Miranda de Graaf (1979) is a postdoctoral researcher at Erasmus Medical Center at the Norovirus research group within the Viroscience department. She received a PhD from the Erasmus University Rotterdam in 2009 for studies on the determinants of host range and replication of human metapneumovirus. After her PhD, she received a Marie-Curie Fellowship to work on the role of glycans in the evolution of influenza viruses at Cambridge university (2009-2012). This work was partly performed at the LUMC, where she generated shotgun glycan arrays based on ferret tissue in collaboration with prof C. Hokke.

Current research:
Her research is highly collaborative and interdisciplinary and combines virology, molecular biology, phylogeny and glycobiology to elucidate the evolution of noroviruses. In collaboration with the RIVM she is responsible for the coordination of global Noronet.
