Chris Klaver

During my bachelor I developed a strong interest in oncology so I started the master Oncology at the VU Amsterdam. I was trained at the NKI in the lab of prof. Gerrit Meijer, exploring utility of liquid biopsies for colorectal cancer. Afterwards, I did my internship at prof. Maria Rescigno's lab in Milan, where we analyzed the role of bacteria in the metastatic process of colorectal and breast cancer.

In November 2018 I joined a project of Karin de Visser and Marleen Kok to analyze immune suppressive cascades in metastatic breast cancer patients and see how these cascades affect the effector immune cells and the success of immune checkpoint blockade.
