About us

The laboratory of Mozand B.V.

Mozand B.V. is located on the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven. And is led by Dr. Adri van der Zanden (Medical Molecular Microbiologist). We are a relatively small organization with quality as a top priority.

Mozand B.V. specializes in analyzing Respiratory (SARS-CoV-2 & Influenza A/B) and various STDs (Chlamydia Trachomatis, Neisseria Gonorrhoeae, Mycoplasma Genitalium, Trichomonas Vaginalis).

Medical Molecular Microbiologist

Area of expertise:

Molecular diagnostics, BSL3 and quality.

Dissertation / Publications:

Spoligotyping, a tool in epidemiology, diagnosis and control of tuberculosis

‘The ‘spoligotyping’ technique is a technique I have managed to optimize and implement in a diagnostic medical microbiological laboratory. 

 

Eventually this has led to multiple studies, giving support to laboratories in Bangladesh, Tanzania, South Africa and Indonesia and also a number of publications in the area of mycobacteria and the supervising of two PhD students. 

 

I became a medical molecular microbiologist after working as an analyst from 1980 to 1987, and as a chief analyst after that up to 1997 in the Pathological-Anatomical & Bacteriological-Serological Laboratory in Deventer. 

 

In 1996 I graduated in Biology, specializing in molecular microbiology.

From 1998 to 2007 I worked as a molecular biologist. During this period (2000-2007) I was also ‘primus inter pares’ of the Medical Microbiology and Infectious diseases department of the Gelre Hospitals in Apeldoorn and Zutphen. 

 

From 2002 to 2007 I was also a part time member of staff of the Clinical Chemistry department of the same hospital. 

 

I obtained my PhD in 2002. My main drive was ‘to go above and beyond’ and ‘to work with energy and enthusiasm’. Hence the text I quoted in my thesis: ‘just looking doesn’t mean you see, when you see it grabs you’.

In 2007 I was registered in the Medical Molecular Microbiology registry of the NVMM’.
