Junior Researcher

Email Winette van der Graaf Olga Husson

In June 2022, I joined the group of Winette van der Graaf and Olga Husson as junior researcher. My research focuses on health-related quality of life issues of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer, in particular the impact of whole genome sequencing (analyzing the whole genetic make-up of the tumor) to find new targets for personalized therapy. I am also coordinating the GENAYA project, in which whole GENome data of AYAs will be stored in a globally unique database for scientific research.
