 Prof. Dr. Margriet G. Mullender | Dr. Margriet Mullender (she/her) is a professor at the Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Hand Surgery at the Amsterdam UMC. She received her PhD in 1997, and since 2010 she works in the field of plastic surgery. She heads a group of dedicated researchers who focus on various aspects of transgender care. The development, implementation and evaluation of "patient centered" care strategies is a central theme. In all studies, the experiences of transgender and gender diverse individuals as well as experiences of care providers play an important and central role. They strive to optimize patient care using modern tools and applications. The practical implementation and evaluation of these innovations, involving all stakeholders is explicitly a part of their research strategies. These new developments are assessed on the basis of their value for the target population, and their usefulness for healthcare providers. Within the GenderCOS Project she supervises the day-to-day coordination. |
 Pip Roijer MD., PhD-candidate | Pip Roijer (she/her) developed a special interest in gender surgery during medical school. After completing part of her master's at the gender surgery department of the Amsterdam UMC in 2021, she continued as a PhD researcher in the same department immediately after graduating. She now shares the responsibility for the day-to-day coordination of The GenderCOS Project with Marleen Vallinga, managing the masculinizing genital gender COS. Additionally, she is involved in a quality of care project, developing a framework for standardizing gender surgical care in The Netherlands. She aspires to one day combine her ambition for surgery with her passion for gender care. |
 Marleen Vallinga MD., PhD-candidate | Marleen Vallinga (she/her) graduated as an MD in the Netherlands in 2014. After a couple of years of residency in Urology, she decided to change her career path.

Together, they serve as the day-to-day coordinators of The GenderCOS Project, with Marleen managing tasks related to feminizing genital gender Core Outcome Set (COS). Additionally, she is conducting research on pedicled peritoneum vaginoplasty, with the aim of enhancing the quality of care for individuals for whom standard vaginoplasty is not a suitable option.
