Menno Boon

After graduating as a Technician in 2020, I pursued my MSc in Oncology at the VU University. I joined Dr. Leila Akkari’s lab for my final master internship, where I investigated the effect of the glioblastoma tumor microenvironment on macrophage programming and behavior.

As of September 2022, I stayed in Dr. Leila Akkari’s lab as a PhD student. My project aims to investigate the reciprocal interactions between macrophages and glioblastoma cells after therapeutic intervention.
