Marion Koopmans is one of the most popular and richest University Teacher who was born on September 21, 1956 in Tegelen, Limburg, Netherlands.
Koopmans studied veterinary medicine at Utrecht University. She graduated from her bachelor’s degree 1976, and remained there for her doctoral research. She earned two graduate degrees in veterinary medicine, and was officially registered as a veterinary microbiologist in 1977. From 1991 to 1994 Koopmans completed a fellowship at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, where she studied enteric viruses. She joined the Virology Division, where she focussed on torovirus in cattle. She became increasingly interested in virology, and moved to the United States to specialise in viruses that can be transmitted between viruses and humans.
In 2003, when Influenza A virus subtype H7N7 spread around the Netherlands, Koopmans experienced her first infectious diseases outbreak. She was involved with the development of a coordinated public response, working with veterinarians and physicians to quickly develop public health policy. Her experiences in leading the response to the avian influenza outbreak prepared her for subsequent epidemics, including severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and Zika virus. During the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, Koopmans was responsible for the deployment of mobile laboratories in Sierra Leone, which trained local volunteers to run testing and treatment programmes. Koopmans is a member of the scientific advisory group (SAG) of the World Health Organization’s R&D Blueprint project. The project looks to understand what has gone wrong with epidemic and pandemic responses, and looks to build global disease preparedness. As part of this effort, Koopmans analysed the public health response to the Zika virus. She identified three significant bottlenecks to an efficient response; including delays in regulatory approvals, challenges in the logistics of laboratory support and the absence of a structured timeline for funding. Koopmans also leads the World Health Organization centre for Emerging Viral Diseases. She is the scientific coordinator of COMPARE, a Horizon 2020 project that looks to develop next generation sequencing techniques for outbreak identification and mapping. COMPARE look to contain and mitigate foodborne illnesses.
