The scientific research office performs and supports several clinical and population-based screening studies. On average five PhD students are working under my guidance. I am the PI of the European Randomized study of Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC) and co-PI of the Prostate Cancer Research International Active Surveillance (prias-project) and the Movember Global Action Plan-3 (active surveillance). Since 2018 I am part of the PIONEER European network for big data in prostate cancer (prostate-pioneer). I am the chairwoman of the ERSPC Foundation, and the Dutch Prostate Cancer Research Foundation (SWOP). My main interest is in predictive modeling (prostatecancer-riskcalculator).
