Elize graduated from Radboud University/RadboudUMC with a master's degree in Biomedical Sciences, specializing in tumor immunology. After graduating, she joined the den Boer group at the Princess Máxima Center in September 2024.
Her research focuses on the immunosuppressive effects of the bone marrow microenvironment in B-cell precursor leukemia (BCP-ALL). Specifically, she studies the interaction between leukemia cells, mesenchymal stromal cells and various immune cell subtypes in an ex vivo culture setting. The goal of this project is to identify potential mechanisms of immunosuppression within the bone marrow microenvironment and utilize these findings to improve the efficacy of immunotherapy.
