Anja Wagner

Anja Wagner is a researcher in the Department of Clinical Genetics at Erasmus MC, with a long-standing focus on hereditary cancer syndromes and molecular genetics. Her work bridges clinical oncology and genetic research, particularly in cancers associated with DNA mismatch repair deficiency.

Her research interests center on hereditary cancers, including Lynch syndrome, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, and MEN1-related tumors. She investigates germline mutations, neoplastic development, and pancreatic and colorectal carcinogenesis. Her work is deeply rooted in molecular pathology and genetic predisposition to cancer.

The recent publications reflect a strong trend in microsatellite instability, mismatch repair deficiency, and familial pancreatic cancer. These studies often involve international collaboration and focus on clinical outcomes, diagnostic improvements, and molecular characterization of rare tumors.

Anja Wagner has not been explicitly mentioned as receiving scientific awards in the provided text.

She has supervised four research projects, indicating involvement in training and mentoring. While specific grant details are not listed, her ongoing publication record suggests active research funding and collaboration. She has co-authored a doctoral thesis, further demonstrating academic supervision.

Her research is conducted within the Clinical Genetics department at Erasmus MC, likely as part of a larger cancer genetics or molecular diagnostics team, with strong ties to clinical oncology and pathology departments.
