Maria is involved as a teacher both in Bachelor and (pre)Master programs. She teaches within several courses of the BSc Biomedical Sciences (Biomedische wetenschappen - Universiteit Utrecht (uu.nl)), the PreMSc Clinical Health Sciences (Opleiding Klinische gezondheidswetenschappen - UMC Utrecht), the MSc Medicine (Faculteit Geneeskunde - UMC Utrecht - Universiteit Utrecht (uu.nl)), the MSc Epidemiology (MSc Epidemiology (msc-epidemiology.nl) and the MSc Methods and Statistics in the Behavioural, Biomedical, and Social Sciences (Master MSBBSS - Methoden & Statistiek - Universiteit Utrecht (uu.nl)). She also contributes to the extracurricular course “Biostatistics for Researchers” and in the summer school courses Biostatistics for Researchers and Survival Analysis. Besides enjoying all the teaching, Maria works as a biostatistical consultant for the Animal Welfare Body Utrecht (Animal Welfare Body Utrecht (ivd-utrecht.nl)) and is manager of the group of biostatistical teachers.
Maria studied Biology at Utrecht University, followed by a PhD at the faculty of Mathematical and Natural Sciences of Leiden University and a Master in Biostatistics at the University of Limburg, Hasselt, Belgium. She worked as a biostatistician at the Biology Department of Utrecht University from 1997 until 2008. From 2009 until 2018 she worked at a research and consultancy agency, focusing on research within health care. Particularly missing teaching, she returned to academics in 2019 at the UMC Utrecht. Being a mother, she spends most of her free time with her family. She loves working in her grocery garden and relaxes the most when she walks her dogs in the forest nearby her house.
Caroline teaches statistics in Bachelor, Master and extra-curricular programs and Clinical Trial Methodology in the Msc Epidemiology [link naar CT&DRA]. Her main focus is the Bachelor program Biomedical Sciences (Biomedische wetenschappen - Universiteit Utrecht (uu.nl). She also teaches in the extra-curricular courses “Introductory Biostatistics for Researchers” and the summer school courses “Biostatistics for Researchers” and “Survival Analysis”. For the remainder of her time she is seconded for innovation in teaching statistics to Medical and Biomedical Bachelor students at Radboud University in Nijmegen.
Caroline studied Human Movement Sciences at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU). She then continued as PhD student, postdoc and assistant professor at the department of Biopsychology of the same university, developing skills in statistical genetics using twin methodology. In 2006 she moved to the department of psychiatry of UMC Utrecht as a twin methodologist and in 2012 to the Julius Center to further develop as a clinical trial methodologist. She is particularly fond of teaching and coaching in various forms, and nowadays spends most time doing this. In her spare time she likes to sing (alto or mezzo soprano), go on long walks, spend some time in her chaotic garden and travel off the beaten track with her companion.

After that, she completed her master’s degree in Applied Data Science at the Utrecht University. Thereafter, in 2021, she started teaching biostatistics at the UMC Utrecht.
Marga primarily teaches in the Biomedical Sciences program and the Medicine program. She also collaborates with colleagues in teaching several other courses such as Introductory Biostatistics for Researchers. Marga is also involved in statistical consultations.
After completing her studies in Human Movement Sciences at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU), she first worked in mental health care as a psychomotor therapist. She then did scientific research in Social Gerontology at the VU. Thereafter, she started teaching methods and statistics at the VU and later at the University of Amsterdam. In 2023 she joined the biostatistics education team at UMC Utrecht.
Cas teaches mostly in the MSc program Epidemiology and in the (Dutch language) pre-master and master program Clinical Health Sciences, but is also involved in statistics courses in several other programs, as well as the extra-curricular course Introductory Biostatistics for Researchers [link:]. He is a member of the exam committee of Clinical Health Sciences.
Cas studied Mathematics (specialization: Applied Probabilistic) at Utrecht University and joined its Center for Biostatistics in 1991. When the Center became part of the Julius Center, he came to work for the UMC Utrecht in 2006. After coordinating the biostatistics education team for more than 10 years he again became one of the regular staff to pursue his passion: teaching statistics to bachelor-, master- and post-graduate students.
