Email Jacco van Rheenen

In March 2025, I joined the group van Jacco van Rheenen as a Post-doctoral fellow. My project focuses on understanding the cell-intrinsic and (micro)environmental factors driving (malignant) cellular proliferation during homeostasis and tumour initiation. To achieve this, I aim at developing reporter strategies to specifically label, image and isolate cycling cells during this process.
