Olga Blomberg

After obtaining my bachelor's degree at Amsterdam University College, I continued my studies in oncology and immunology at the Biomedical Sciences Master at the UvA. I was trained at the NKI in the lab of Heinz Jacobs studying DNA damage tolerance, and in the lab of Hidde Ploegh at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Cambrige, USA where I studied the requirements of effective cancer immunotherapy using alpaca-derived heavy chain-only nanobodies.

In May 2017, I joined the lab of Karin de Visser to study tumor-associated immunosuppressive mechanisms to enhance the success of immunotherapy for metastatic breast cancer.
