Wouter R.L. Hendrickx

As a scientist I'm interested in processes that involve cell plasticity like stem cells, differentiation, embryology and cancer. My research experience has mainly been focused on cancer research. I have participated in several projects looking into the molecular mechanisms underlying the tumour and metastasis-suppressive effects of MMP's and investigated the role of the degradome. Since 2016 I have shifted my focus to the role of the immune system in cancer biology with a focus on cancer immunogenetics.
