Dr. Judith M. Boer is a biomedical scientist trained in cell biology and genetics at Erasmus University Rotterdam and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memphis, US. Judith specialized in oncogenomics during post-doctoral research at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) and Leiden University Medical Center.
Judith joined the Den Boer research group in 2010 at Erasmus MC and moved to the Princess Máxima Center for pediatric oncology in Utrecht in 2018, where she is now a permanent staff member co-supervising PhD students on translational oncogenomics and precision medicine projects. Bridging from lab to clinic, she is involved in the development of genetic stratification for first-line ALL therapy, genetic factors contributing to treatment response, and identification of targets for precision medicines in individual patients to improve the outcome of pediatric leukemia patients.
