New role for lactate in regulating cancer stem cell identity

Our latest research is now online! Huge congratulations to our PhD candidate Nguyen Thi Binh Nguyen for spearheading this amazing work! More than 100 years after the discovery of the Warburg effect, we uncover a new role for lactate in shaping tumor development by increasing the population of cancer stem cells through epigenetic regulation ofContinue reading “New role for lactate in regulating cancer stem cell identity”

Rutger successfully defended his PhD thesis: “Homeostasis in intestinal organoids at the single cell level”

Rutger did his PhD research on cellular decision making at AMOLF in Amsterdam, in the groups of Sander Tans and Jeroen van Zon. Afterwards, he joined our group as a research analist/bioinformatician. We are very happy for him that he is now officially a doctor. Congratulations Dr. Kok!
