About
Naomi van Vlies is a leading researcher in the field of inborn errors of metabolism, with a particular focus on the development of advanced diagnostic tools for lysosomal storage disorders. Her most significant contribution is the creation of a novel, automated high-throughput mass spectrometry assay for quantifying heparan sulfate, a key biomarker for mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS). This groundbreaking work, published in 2014 and cited over 36 times, has revolutionized the screening and monitoring of MPS patients, offering a more rapid, sensitive, and specific method compared to traditional techniques. By enabling earlier diagnosis and more precise tracking of disease progression, van Vlies’ assay has directly improved clinical management and treatment evaluation for these devastating genetic conditions. Her research stands at the intersection of analytical chemistry and clinical genetics, demonstrating a powerful commitment to translating complex biochemical insights into practical, patient-centered solutions.
