PhD(c), Surgery Resident

I am a surgical resident at Ghent University Hospital (Belgium), currently finalizing my PHD at Ghent University (Belgium), under the supervision of prof. dr. G. Sys, prof. O. De Wever, prof. dr. L. Lapeire and prof. A. Hendrix.
I have a great interest in surgical oncology, with a specific interest in sarcoma. My research focuses on extracellular vesicles and patient-derived xenografts (minimal residual disease models) to support therapeutic descision making for sarcoma patient treatment and follow-up.
