Michiel de Ruiter

My research focus is on side effects of cancer treatment on cognitive functioning and the brain. 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.
