Maartje Rohaan

After graduating medical school at the VU University, I worked as a resident at the department of Internal Medicine in the OLVG Oost Hospital in Amsterdam for 1,5 years. During this time, I gained clinical experience and I became interested in research and oncology. In May 2017, I started as a PhD student in the group of John Haanen.

My main projects focus on adoptive cell therapy in patients with advanced melanoma. During my PhD, I was the trial physician of a phase I clinical trial with gene modified peripheral blood T cells and I am coordinating a phase III clinical trial with Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes.
