T.P. Links

Prof. Dr. T.P. Links is a Professor at the Faculty of Medical Sciences, University of Groningen, specializing in endocrinology and oncology with a focus on thyroid diseases. His research emphasizes thyroid cancer pathogenesis, diagnostic innovations, and clinical management strategies. He has authored over 360 publications, including studies on medullary thyroid cancer grading, post-thyroidectomy metabolic changes, and radiotherapy outcomes. Recognized with the NVKC abstract prize, he actively contributes to medical education and public engagement through media articles and lectures on thyroid health.

• Research interests: Thyroid cancer, metabolic disorders, genetic variants, and precision diagnostics
• Recent work includes population-based cancer studies and therapeutic marker validation
• Media contributions address thyroid-related health concerns for public awareness

His articles reflect interdisciplinary approaches combining molecular biology (e.g., transcriptome analysis) and clinical outcomes (e.g., quality-of-life assessments post-radiotherapy). Collaborative projects explore EZH2 as a therapeutic target and integrin αvβ3 in tumor progression. Supervisory work focuses on training the next generation of endocrinology researchers.
