Annemieke Bouwman

Currently, I’m enrolled in the MSc Programme Cancer, Stem Cells and Developmental Biology at Utrecht University. As part of my studies I was trained in the group of Eric Kalkhoven (UMCU) where I studied invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) cells and their polarization in metabolic disease.

Now I will carry out a second research internship in the lab of Karin de Visser (NKI), again focusing on the immune system however this time in a cancer context. Here, I will investigate how genetic aberrations influence the immune system in breast cancer metastasis.
