Dr. Aniek Zwart is a PhD researcher at the University of Groningen, affiliated with the Faculty of Medical Sciences and Department of Radiology, Nuclear Medicine & Medical Imaging. She focuses on skeletal muscle mass as an imaging biomarker to predict outcomes in head and neck cancer patients. Her work integrates oncology, radiology, and clinical imaging techniques.
Education: Bachelor's in Radiology Techniques (Hanze University of Applied Sciences, 2013), followed by a combined Bachelor's/Master's in Medicine (University of Groningen, 2018). She received the 3-year-PhD scholarship from the Graduate School of Medical Sciences.
Research interests include sarcopenia, frailty, and malnutrition in oncology patients, with a focus on diagnostic imaging methods (CT/MRI) to quantify muscle mass. Key contributions include validating low-dose CT protocols and identifying sex-specific cut-offs for skeletal muscle deficits.
Publications span journals like European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology and Journal of Clinical Medicine, emphasizing translational research in head and neck cancer outcomes. Collaborates with promotor teams including Prof. de Bock and Prof. Halmos.
