Lars van der Veken

Lars van der Veken is a Researcher/Postdoc at the University Medical Center Utrecht, affiliated with Utrecht University. He contributes to the institution's Cancer strategic program, focusing on interdisciplinary research bridging immunology, genetics, and oncology.

His primary research interests include:

• Cancer: Genetic drivers of hematological malignancies
• Immunology: Inborn errors of immunity and autoimmune mechanisms
• Genetics: Germline variants and regulatory elements in disease
• Autoimmune Diseases: Molecular pathways and therapeutic targets
• Hematology: Pediatric blood disorders and bone marrow syndromes

Recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate a consistent focus on genetic immunology, including pediatric cancer genomics, autoimmune disease mechanisms, and immune deficiencies in infectious diseases. His work employs genomic analysis and clinical case studies to explore disease etiologies.
