Henk Roest

Dr. Henk Roest is a Researcher in the Department of Surgery at Erasmus University Rotterdam's Faculty of Medicine. With 67 research outputs including articles, posters, and book chapters, his work focuses on developing advanced organotypic models for immunological and oncological research.

• Ph.D. Student, Rijksuniversiteit Leiden (Dec 1988 - Sept 1993)
• Post-doc, Erasmus University Rotterdam (Oct 1993 - Jul 1996)
• Post-doc, Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (NWO) (Aug 1996 - Dec 1999)

Dr. Roest's research spans organoid systems with particular expertise in cholangiocyte biology, lymph node immunology, and cancer resistance mechanisms. His work bridges basic cell biology with clinical applications in transplantation medicine and oncology, using advanced cell culture techniques to model complex biological systems.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a consistent focus on developing physiologically relevant models that better mimic human tissue function. His work on lymph node models, cholangiocarcinoma organoids, and lymphoma-on-chip systems demonstrates methodological innovation across immunology and oncology. His research on nanoplastics effects on marine mammals shows the versatility of his cell culture expertise.

Dr. Roest has supervised at least one student as indicated by the 'Supervised Work (1)' notation in his profile. His collaborative network spans multiple institutions with international research partnerships, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of his work in biomedical modeling.
