Spatial biology

Tumor immunology

Single cell genomics

In May 2026, I joined the group of Emile Voest as a postdoctoral fellow to investigate spatial immune interactions in colorectal cancer to understand immunotherapy response and to identify targets for immunotherapy optimization.

Work experience

2021 – 2026
Completed my PhD at the Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology in Utrecht under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Anne Rios and Dr. Dannis van Vuurden. My thesis focused on spatial mapping of tumor-immune microenvironmental interactions in pediatric high-grade glioma with a particular interest in the role of myeloid cells within these tumors.

Worked as an Operations Specialist Pharmacovigilance at contract research organization IQVIA in Vienna, Austria.

2018-2020
Obtained my Master’s degree (MSc) in Drug Innovation at Utrecht University, The Netherlands. During my Master’s I did an internship at the neuro-oncology department of the Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology in Utrecht, The Netherlands, followed by an internship at the Cancer Drug Discovery department of the Boehringer Ingelheim Research Center in Vienna, Austria.

2014-2018
Obtained my Bachelor’s degree (BSc) in Medical Biology at the Radboud University Nijmegen, Netherlands.
