This research will be performed within the Prospective Dutch Colorectal Cancer (PLCRC) cohort, an observational cohort study in which all patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer in more than 50 participating hospitals in the Netherlands can be enrolled. My main interest is translational oncology, and trying to build bridges between fundamental research and clinics.
In July 2019 I joined the group of prof. dr. Gerrit Meijer under the supervision of dr. Remond Fijneman as a PhD student. During this project, we will try to find prognostic and predictive biomarkers in non-metastatic colorectal cancer, focusing on the study of cell-free circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA).
