Arne Nedergaard Kousholt

Biography

I work as a postdoc in the lab of Jos Jonkers, where I am using advanced mouse models to investigate a potential novel tumour suppressor for breast cancer. I will test if specific genetic changes can cause breast cancer, and using these models, I will study treatment response and drug resistance for these specific breast cancer subtypes. Moreover, I will setup an in-vitro assay for testing pathogenic roles of patient derived breast cancer mutations. I did my PhD under the supervision of associated professor Claus Storgaard Sørensen, BRIC, university of Copenhagen. My primary research experience lies within basic research in the field of the DNA Damage Response (DDR).
