I completed a PhD in clinical genetics from Uppsala University, Sweden. I am currently working as a senior postdoctoral fellow at the Division of Molecular Genetics, Netherlands Cancer Institute. I am interested in developing novel mouse models and finding key driver genes in mesothelioma and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). I will use my KWF grant to decipher the tumor suppressive role of BAP1 and related exploitable vulnerabilities in cancer.
