Dr. Schielen is a senior scientist at the National Institute of Public Health and the Environment, Centre for Population Screening, in Bilthoven, The Netherlands. He has a background in prenatal screening for Down’s syndrome and adverse pregnancy outcomes and neonatal screening for metabolic and other disorders. He earned his PhD from Utrecht University in the Netherlands. Since 2020, he has been the quality assurance and science coordinator for a program focusing on breast, cervical, and colon cancer screening in the Caribbean part of the Netherlands. Implementing screening programs in a setting with limited resources brings together my passion for screening and global health and contributes to more equity in public health worldwide, with responsible choices to make the programs accessible for all, respecting local values, local circumstances, and proper monitoring and evaluation. To establish this, he is seconded to the Julius Centre of the Utrecht University Medical Centre, the Netherlands. In another capacity, he is also the office manager of the International Society of Neonatal Screening (ISNS). The ISNS, with 470 professional members globally, invests in building bridges to support screening programs in LMIC countries. For the ISNS, he is involved in activities to establish more equity in neonatal screening among European (EU member) states but also globally. He is also Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Neonatal Screening.
