In 2016 I joined the lab of Jacco van Rheenen to continue the work I started in the UK on a process called cell competition.

The focus of my team is the involvement of cell competition in colorectal cancer, both at the primary site and during metastasis. With a combination of organoid and mouse models we investigate how cell competition affects tumor growth and how we could target cell competition for treatment colorectal cancer.
