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…

PhD position available!
Understanding how brain cells interact to form circuits, how circuits give rise to networks, and how networks support cognition is one of the most exciting challenges in clinical neuroscience. For complex conditions such as multiple sclerosis and autism spectrum disorder, progress has been slowed by animal models that optimize for single causes or treatments, without…
