My name is Aileen Van Gyseghem and I will contribute to the FWO-SBO CONNECT project by working on the implementation and evaluation of a person- and family-centered social connection program for people with serious illness and their family caregivers. After completing my Master's degree in Biochemistry & Biotechnology in 2023, I completed an advanced Master's degree in Bioethics, which sparked my interest in end-of-life care research.
