Goals

This will lead to more accurate genotyping, prediction, early assessment of response, and minimal residual disease.


Research groups contributing to this research program

Cancer pharmacology

Nielka van Erp's research group focuses on describing, explaining, understanding and modifying the pharmacokinetics of oral anticancer drugs.

Genetic epidemiology

Sita Vermeulen's research group aims to understand underlying mechanisms of prognosis and treatment response in order to facilitate personalized medicine. The group mainly uses molecular epidemiological studies and has a focus on bladder cancer.

Molecular tumor genetics

Marjolijn Ligtenberg's research group aims to optimize recognition of genetic tumor risk syndromes and to use tumor-specific genetic aberrations to optimize treatment and monitoring of cancer patients.
