    The annual CCA retreat

    The Cancer Center Amsterdam is one of our communities, as a leading academic oncology center embedded within Amsterdam UMC, where research, patient care, and education are closely integrated. By directly translating scientific insights into clinical practice, we aim to drive innovation and work towards improving outcomes and quality of life for cancer patients with the…

    Rachel & Eva attend workshop @Lorentz center

    Eva & Rachel had great discussions this week at a workshop on neuroscience and philosophy with experimental and non-experimental neuroscientists, philosophers, and colleagues, at the Lorentz Center. Linda gave a talk in the brains and bodies session. Their key takeaway: the conceptual frameworks we adopt fundamentally shape what becomes an object of scientific inquiry. A…

  • New podcast on network neuroscience

    Linda recently joined Udesh Habaraduwa for his One Deeper Podcast to talk about her journey into network neuroscience. Listen to it here!

    We are looking for a new PhD candidate (Dutch-speaking)!

    Kanker-gerelateerde vermoeidheid is een van de meest belastende en persisterende klachten bij mensen met kanker. Ondanks uitgebreid onderzoek ontbreken nog steeds een mechanistisch begrip ervan en betrouwbare voorspellers van behandelrespons. In het FAIR-CARE project wordt een fundamenteel nieuwe benadering gebruikt waarin klachten niet geïsoleerd worden bestudeerd, maar als onderdeel van een dynamisch netwerk van symptomen.…

    We were at Amsterdam Neuroscience’s annual meeting!

    The inspiring event highlighted how rapidly advancing technologies are reshaping the way we study, understand, and interact with the brain. A special highlight was the short talk Linda gave, connecting the work by the other fantastic presenters on ‘healthy’ human cognition to the clinical perspective we take in the team. In addition, Mona, Maxine, Eva…

  • New publication in Nature Reviews Neurology

    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…

  • Sébastien joins MULTINET!

    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…

  • Floris nominated for Open Science prize

    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!
