Cees Vermeer
About
Dr. Cees Vermeer (born December 14, 1946), studied biochemistry at the University of Leiden, where he defended in 1973 his thesis entitled "The role of the initiation factor IF3 in the initiation of protein synthesis in Escherichia coli". After a two-year post-doctoral position at the Central Lab of the Dutch Red Cross Blood transfusion Center in Amsterdam, Vermeer was appointed in 1975 as Associate Professor of Biochemistry at the newly formed Maastricht University, where he founded his renowned Division on Vitamin K Research. Vermeer discovered the pivotal importance of vitamin K2 for bone and cardiovascular health and the major diagnostic importance of Matrix Gla-Protein (MGP) as a biomarker for cardiovascular disease and mortality. He invented the MGP technology by which circulating MGP can be quantified and used to estimate cardiovascular disease risk and arterial calcification.
