uncover genes driving tumorigenesis and therapy resistance in human breast cancer
To improve cancer treatments, personalized medicine approaches have aimed to identify exactly which mutations are driving tumor development in a given patient and specifically target these mutations using precision therapies.

Using insertional mutagenesis to identify breast cancer drivers and therapy resistance genes in mice
In this thesis, we used genetically engineered mouse models to identify genes and pathways that are involved in ILC formation and in the development of resistance to FGFR-targeted therapy.

of actomyosin contraction as a driving force of invasive lobular breast cancer
In this thesis, we used genetically engineered mouse models and a variety of cell-culture based assays to identify genes and pathways that are involved in the development and treatment of invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC).

Immuunsysteem speelt dubbele rol bij borstkanker
Het immuunsysteem speelt een paradoxale rol bij de uitzaaiing van borstkanker. Dat ontdekte Kelly Kersten in haar promotieonderzoek. Sommige immuuncellen dragen bij aan uitzaaiingen, terwijl andere cellen kunnen worden aangezet om chemotherapie effectiever te maken. Promotie op 7 februari.
