Biography

I graduated as a neuropsychologist and neuroscientist. In my PhD-project (started in July, 2010) I have the opportunity to combine those two disciplines. My research project focuses on the long-term effects of cancer treatment on the brain and cognition. This research is conducted in patients treated for breast cancer and testicular cancer >10 years ago. By means of extensive neuropsychological research I assess several aspects of cognition such as memory, concentration and planning. Additionally, I investigate brain structure and function by conducting MRI scans of the brain.
