Om mig
Associate Professor in Oncology. Principal Investigator (PI) for Cogni-Thyr study (NCT05088187), MIMIR-mTNBC trial (NCT05742269), as well as the PREDIX II HER2 trial (NCT03894007; terminated due to safety issues in comparable trial).
Deputy-PI in the HER2-PET (EU CT 2022-000486-41) and Neo-ACT (NCT05184582) investigator-initiated trials. In addition, I coordinate a number of side-studies to already running and completed clinical trials, such as a cognition substudy to the OptiTrain clinical trial (NCT02522260) and a PET-scan substudy in the PREDIX HER2 trial (NCT02568839). I am local PI for other multicenter clinical trials, both academic as well as industry-initiated studies.
