Professor Dr. A.D.M.E. (Ab) Osterhaus (PhD) started his career in Utrecht (The Netherlands) where he graduated as a veterinarian. In 1978, he received his PhD degree (with distinction) with Prof. Dr. M.C. Horzinek. He then moved to the RIVM in Bilthoven, where he would stay until 1994. Since then, he worked at Erasmus MC in Rotterdam as Professor of Virology and was Head of the Department of Virology until July 2015. Prof. Osterhaus is currently Professor of Wildlife Virology and Virus Discovery at Utrecht University, Director of the Center of Infection Medicine and Zoonosis Research and Guest-Professor at the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover. Thirty years of experience in animal and human virology have resulted in a specific interest in viruses that ordinarily affect only animals but that can cross the species barrier.
