The center brings together the best possible care and scientific research, creating a unique interdisciplinary institute for pediatric oncology in Europe.
**Research project**
Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is a life-saving therapy for various diseases, including leukemia. However, despite its use in >40.000 patients annually, the mechanisms by which transplanted stem cells regenerate blood in the recipient remain largely unknown. In a previous study, we found that clonal populations of mutant stem cells (clonal hematopoiesis) can be found in a substantial number of long-term stem cell transplantation survivors. In the current project, we aim to dissect the growth dynamics of mutant clones after transplantation, and to identify cell-extrinsic factors that drive or mitigate clonal expansion, which may provide therapeutic targets. You will be involved in the entire scope of translational research - from patient recruitment to fundamental cell biology studies. You will assess clinical parameters, blood cell counts as well as molecular characteristics of these cells, and relate these to clinical exposures and outcome. You will coordinate study visits, analyze the clinical data and perform the required wet-lab experiments. You will work closely together with another PhD student, a clinical trial manager and a wet-lab technician. Within the context of the study, you are encouraged to develop and test your own research hypotheses and ideas.
This is a 4-year project that is subsidized by NWO. The results of this study are expected to contribute to more effective, safer stem cell transplantations, in order to improve the survival and quality of life of children with cancer.
