Focus of research

My primary research interest involves hormones and cancer. This includes work on endocrine tumors, including neuroendocrine and thyroid tumors in the framework of the Amsterdam Center for Endocrine and Neuroendocrine Tumors, and also hormonal aspects of cancer, for example breast cancer, in transgender individuals in the Center of Expertise on Gender Dysphoria. 

Further understanding of the endocrine underpinnings of cancer may guide hormone and cancer treatment decisions in patients in the future.
