معرفی
Esther Korpershoek is a Researcher in the Department of Clinical Genetics at Erasmus MC, where she contributes to cutting-edge research in hereditary cancer syndromes and molecular diagnostics. Her work focuses on genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying endocrine and rare tumors.
Her research interests span Genetics, Molecular Biology, Clinical Genetics, and Tumor Biology, with a particular emphasis on pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma, SDHx-related syndromes, germline mutations, and neuroendocrine tumors. She utilizes advanced techniques such as transcriptome screening and in vitro tumor modeling to improve diagnostic accuracy and understand disease mechanisms.
The analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong trend in molecular oncology, particularly in identifying pathogenic variants in genes like NF1 and MEN1, developing long-term tumor cultures, and exploring morphological and genetic overlaps in rare pediatric tumors. Her work bridges clinical diagnostics with fundamental research, contributing significantly to the understanding of hereditary tumor syndromes.
