Personal profile

Research interests

Currently I am working as an assistant professor at Tilburg University on biological mechanisms in cancer survivorship. My research focusses on (late) effects of cancer and cancer treatment, such as increased fatigue, cognitive problems, depression and anxiety, and co-morbid conditions, like fatigue, cardiovascular disease (CVD) or neuropathy. Decades of research in psycho-oncology have demonstrated that many cancer survivors are affected by these late effects which negatively impact their health-related quality of life. My research focusses on whether disturbances/alterations in biological mechanisms due to cancer(treatment), such as increased inflammation, enhanced cellular ageing, or disturbances in the kynurenine pathway are involved in poor cancer survivorship.
