Hanne Rinck Jeltema

Hanne Rinck Jeltema is a researcher at the Faculty of Medical Sciences, University of Groningen (UMCG), specializing in Neuro-Oncology and Radiation Therapy. Her work focuses on neurocognitive outcomes in brain tumor patients, particularly those undergoing proton radiotherapy for low-grade gliomas and meningiomas. Recent studies examine emotion recognition deficits, resilience patterns, and functional heterogeneity in patient populations.

• Prospective cohort studies on cognitive impacts of proton therapy
• Multi-modal research integrating PET imaging and neuropsychological assessments
• Collaborations with radiation oncology and neurosurgical teams

Her research contributes to SDGs related to health and well-being, with publications in Journal of Neuro-Oncology and Neuro-Oncology. Current work explores subclinical neurocognitive changes and adaptive coping mechanisms in brain tumor survivors.
