Paula Ruiz Duran

In March 2025, I joined the groups of Elzo de Wit and Jarno Drost (Princess Maxima Centrum) as a PhD student. My research aims to unravel the epigenetic changes driving Malignant Rhabdoid Tumors (MRTs), a highly aggressive form of childhood cancer.  To achieve this, I will be using patient-derived organoids, cutting-edge protein degradation techniques, and advanced epigenetic analysis methods.
