My background is in cognitive neuroscience (PhD University of Amsterdam in 2005). I was a research fellow for KWF working in labs in Oxford, Cologne and Dresden. I received a KWF grant on MRI predictors of cognitive problems in breast cancer patients that I now work on.
I also co-supervise PhD neuroimaging projects in testicular and breast cancer patients. Finally, I supervise and conduct multicenter neuroimaging studies that are part of trials on cognitive side effects of prophylactic cranial irradiation in lung cancer patients.
