Wouter van de Worp

Wouter van de Worp is a Researcher at the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences, Maastricht University, focusing on NUTRIM - Healthy Ageing. His work bridges pulmonology, oncology, and metabolic research.

• Research Interests: Cachexia, sarcopenia, lung cancer metabolism, COPD-related muscle atrophy, and nutritional interventions.
• Methodologies: Develops animal models, employs CT imaging, and conducts systematic reviews.

Publications (2017–2024) reveal a focus on cancer-induced muscle wasting, radiotherapy effects, and therapeutic strategies. His 2024 Cancers study links cachexia to NSCLC prognosis, while 2023 work in Journal of Cachexia explores orthotopic models.

Collaborations include experts in oncology (Dr. Langen), radiology (Dr. Verhaegen), and nutrition (Dr. Schols). His research emphasizes translational approaches for cachexia management in respiratory and oncologic contexts.
