New publication in Nature Reviews Neurology
Linda was invited to write a review on network perspectives in glioma, together with Jaap and Ayan Mandal! They describe how adult glioma is associated with a wide range of symptoms and variable survival that are not fully explained by tumour location or subtype. As we know very well in the team, recent work suggests…

A milestone for the M2B study
Our Molecule to Behavior (M2B) study on brain tumors has now included more than two hundred participants! In this study that has been running since 2014, we examine how a brain tumor affects thinking and communication between brain regions, from molecules to behavior. This reflects the core of our multiscale network neuroscience approach within the…

Sébastien joins MULTINET!
My research interests broadly revolve around brain connectivity, network science, and multimodal analysis. In collaboration with the Adore biocomputation group, I am excited to dive into multilayer network theory to explore how data from different scales (e.g., genes, proteins, cells, whole-brain) can help us better understand oncological and neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. Before…

New project funded by Hanarth Foundation!
Cancer-related fatigue affects many people with cancer, yet we still cannot explain why some patients develop severe fatigue or why treatments help some but not others. Our freshly funded project FAIR-CARE takes a fresh approach by studying how symptoms connect and interact, using advanced AI and Bayesian network methods. This project brings together an inspiring…

Floris nominated for Open Science prize
Floris built a pipeline to process thousands of scans from brain tumor patients and check their quality in the months he was with us over the summer. Now, the neuro-oncology patient research group has an insanely rich dataset to work with. Very deservedly, Floris was nominated for an Open Science prize at Amsterdam UMC!

Thanks Brigit!
We said goodbye to our amazing research coordinator Brigit Thomassen. Over the last two years Brigit has been a valuable part of our team, active in both GRIP and MULTINET to organize and oversee data collection and help optimize patients’ research participation experience. Her dedication, organization and positive energy were a joy to have in…

Linda was at EACR Cancer Neuroscience in Bilbao
We were excited to contribute to the first EACR Conference on Cancer Neuroscience, an international meeting dedicated to exploring how the nervous system and cancer influence one another across the body. This emerging field is transforming our understanding of malignant disease and opening new directions for therapy. Linda was invited to speak on the team’s…
