Since 2013 I have been working as a pulmonologist at the Netherlands Cancer Institute. In addition to patient care, I am involved in research into targeted therapy and immunotherapy for lung cancer.

I think the attractive thing about working at the Netherlands Cancer Institute is that you can quickly use new insights and medicines for patients, whether or not in a study context. There are many new developments in the field of lung cancer treatment. It is very special to be able to contribute to this, both in the consulting room and in terms of scientific research.
