I have been employed as a research fellow at the Center for Surgical Science since November 2019. In the past I also had a research year in the research unit. I am interested in how the surgical and oncological approach to patients can be combined so that patients can get the right treatment at the right time. In particular, im interested in the immune system with a focus on increasing the activity of the immune sys-tem before surgical and medical oncological treatment. In addition, I am also interested in identifying important factors for medical oncology treatment using a big data and machine learning approach. My research is divided between a translational and a big data focus. Translationally, I am interested in neoadjuvant measures that can enhance immune system activity before curative surgery in patients with colorectal cancer. In addition, I have been part of several projects focusing on identifying biomarkers that can monitor tumor burden in patients undergoing surgical and oncological treatment. Within big data, I am interested in identifying factors that are essential for patients to benefit from oncological medical care.
