Danny successfully defended his PhD thesis: ‘Improving therapeutic outcome of patients with Neuroendocrine cancer: Understanding both the target and the bullet’

Danny with members of the Rodriguez Colman lab at the reception after his defense

Danny did his PhD research on the radiobiology of targeted radionuclides in neuroendocrine cancer, in the departments of Radiology & Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Genetics of the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam. Afterwards, he joined our group as a postdoc. We are very happy for him that he is now officially a doctor. Congratulations Dr. Feijtel!

Rodriguez-Colman lab joins the Oncode Institute

Congratulations, Maria J. Rodriguez Colman! Maria is one of 10 new Junior Oncode Investigators, appointed by Oncode Institute.


Maria feels very honored to become part of Oncode:

“We look forward to work side by side with such a talented group of cancer investigators. In the lab we investigate how the metabolism regulates the functioning of cells. The link between cancer and metabolism is gaining exponential attention, yet there is poor understanding on how metabolism affects cancer biology at the fundamental level. Our overarching goal is gain fundamental insights which will help to develop (adjuvant) dietary-based strategies for the treatment of (colorectal) cancer.”

The Rodriguez Colman Lab is seeking for a postdoctoral fellow to join the team!

We are seeking for a highly motivated candidate with a PhD to work on how metabolic changes resulting from, for instance dietary factors, regulate (stem) cell decisions during tissue or tumor development.
