Biography
He studied Biology at Utrecht University and obtained my MSc. degree in Cancer Genomics and Developmental Biology in 2014. His first research internship took place in the Knipscheer lab at the Hubrecht Institute, where he worked on DNA interstrand crosslink repair. For his second internship, he was awarded several grants (KWF, Dr. Hendrik Muller foundation, K.F. Hein foundation) to join the Mittal lab at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York. At this lab he studied the contribution of tumor- and myeloid cell-derived MMP14 on lung cancer progression. In October 2014, he joined Karin de Visser's lab as a Ph.D. student to investigate the impact of tumor-associated neutrophils on metastatic breast cancer.
