Annegien Broeks

Following my MSc. at the Free University and PhD in 1997 in the group of Ronald Plasterk, I became a postdoc/Associate-Staff-Scientist in the group of Laura van ‘t Veer at the NKI. I have worked on several KWF projects studying e.g. cancer susceptibility genes and radiation-induced breast cancer.

In 2010 I accepted a new challenge; the development of the CFMPB. I coordinate all processes supported by the facility and I am also a Committee Secretary of the Institutional Review Board of the NKI. An important aspect is guarding the process according to the Dutch regulation and legislation; ‘WMO’ and ‘code of conduct’. In addition, I continued doing research in close collaboration with Marjanka Schmidt.
