Maarten Slagter

Biography

My training consisted of a Bsc in Biomedical sciences and a Msc in Bioinformatics & Systems Biology at the University of Amsterdam and VU University Amsterdam. The internships I did revolved around data analysis and mathematical modelling in various biological contexts: Huntington's disease, synthetic (prokaryotic) biology and GPCR signalling. My current goal is to improve our quantitative understanding of T-cell mediated tumor regression and its dependence on other cells/factors in the local microenvironment, by computational analysis of experimental data generated here at the NKI and elsewhere. Hopefully this will contribute to more effective T-cell based immunotherapeutic strategies.
