As a Professor of Experimental and Preclinical Oncology I am fascinated how loss of adhesion triggers cancer progression.
Outside the lab I love culinary extravaganza’s and fast motor cycles. 

As a technician my work focusses on identifying molecular features of ILC dormancy and recurrence. Together with Thijs I work on the PEARL project.  In my spare time I enjoy running, cooking and traveling. 

My work is centred around  finding new tumor suppressors for ILC development and delineating how Kaiso controls transcriptional activity in cancer.
Who needs a hobby when
you’re doing science?

I focus on Lobular Breast cancer progression and treatment. Sponsored by Breast Cancer Now, I develop targeted interventions using ILC mouse models. Besides science I enjoy watching and playing football.

I am a MSc student doing an internship in the DerksenLab. Supervised by Peter, I study the non-receptor tyrosine kinase FER and its oncogenic roles in basal-type carcinomas such as TNBC and HNSCC.
