Jos Jonkers

Julia-Star Darnold

In November 2022, I joined the group of Jos Jonkers as a PhD student. My project focuses on the prevention and early interception of BRCA1-associated breast cancer. Our goal is to find non-invasive approaches to prevent breast cancer in BRCA1 mutation carriers so that mutation carriers will not have to undergo prophylactic surgeries.  

Fields of expertise

Breast cancer

Molecular biology

Immunology
