Nicoline Hoogerbrugge

Supervisor

Stichting Radboud universitair medisch centrum, NL

Nicoline Hoogerbrugge is full professor in hereditary cancer at the department of Human Genetics, Radboud university medical center Nijmegen, The Netherlands. She is chair of the European Reference Network on Genetic Tumour Risk Syndromes (ERN GENTURIS) that was installed by the European Union in 2017. This network facilitates patient care, teaching, guideline development and research activities in hereditary cancer in the EU.

In her unique professional combination of being medical doctor specialized both in Internal Medicine and Cancer Genetics, she is key to the application and innovation of clinical cancer genetics that permits prevention and early detection of hereditary cancer. Her research always originates from unmet needs of hereditary cancer patients in day-to-day clinical practice. Therefore, her research has its focus in the identification as well as treatment and prevention of hereditary cancer, specifically PHTS.
