Tim Korevaar studied medicine at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, during which he got acquainted with research during a 7-month research internship at the Oxford Center for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism studying disease of the pituitary and adrenals (Dr. Niki Karavitaki and Prof. Ashley Grossman). He then obtained a Master’s degree in Clinical Epidemiology at the Netherlands Institute of Health Sciences, and subsequently obtained his PhD (cum laude) on determinants, interpretation and consequences of thyroid hormone availability during pregnancy at the Erasmus University (Prof. Robin Peeters, Prof. Eric Steegers and Prof. Theo Visser). In the last few years, Dr. Korevaar has had the privilege to receive six international awards and recently initiated and co-founded an international research consortium (the Consortium on Thyroid and pregnancy). He currently works as a visiting postdoctoral scientist at the Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, USA, (Prof. Russ Hauser) and aims to extend the work of his PhD to fill clinical knowledge-gaps on the role of thyroid function in pregnancy and reproduction.
