Lauw Klaassen, Ph.D.

I am an electrophysiologist, working in the IBP department, on the 4th floor of the Medical School (room 4.306, ext. 6327). In March 2007 I went to a meeting of the National Postdoctoral Association. I am involved in a mentoring project, with the goal of establishing a postdoctoral association at UT Houston. In 2005 I came to Houston from The Netherlands with my family. I live in The Woodlands.

The University of Texas Medical School at Houston

Originally from Hungary

I have lived in Houston since November of 2003 and, unti then had never been to the USA. I was lucky to find fellow Eastern Europeans who helped me to settle down and became my friends. I got involved in organizing postdoc events in 2005, because I think it’s important to form a postdoc community. Especially for international postdocs who need help and advice how to rebuild their life and find new friends.
