Linda Henneman

Biography

I finished my Master in Biomedical Science at the VU University Amsterdam in 2004. In the same year I started as a PhD student in the group of Ron Wanders at the Academic Medical Centre in Amsterdam. I received my PhD in 2011. In 2009, I started as a postdoc in the groups of Ed Roos and Kees Jalink at the NKI. In 2011, I started my second postdoc in the group of Jos Jonkers, where I developed genetically engineered mouse models (GEMMs) to study ER-positive breast cancer. I also used GEMMs to validate several candidate oncogenes in BRCA1-associated breast cancer. In 2016, I joined the transgenic facility.
