My personal goal is to be an excellent neuro- and head/ neck radiologist with a focus on oncology imaging combing clinical activities with research activities to acquired and contribute to cutting-edge knowledge. Transfer of this knowledge to others by active participation in educational activities. I would like to become an expert in neurology nuclear medicine to integrate radiology and nuclear medicine in this fields.

 

Research

I started the research line ‘Diagnosis, treatment planning and treatment evaluation in neuro- and head/neck oncology’ at the University Medical Center Groningen, the Netherlands two years ago. I have performed a postdoc at the Brain Tumour Imaging Laboratory at the University of Cambridge. A continuing collaboration is established with have resulted in my current position as senior visiting researcher at the University of Cambridge. I have acquired a Mandema stipend (2016) for further development of this research line. As coordinator of this research line, I am responsible for the supervision of research project from medical JSM students, thesis students and radiology residents. I co-supervise (1th copromotor), in collaboration with the neurology and neurosurgery department, a MD/PhD student. He currently works on the project ‘Functional MRI and MET-PET imaging characterisation for evaluation and treatment planning in patients with a glioblastoma’.
