Jaco Kraan

Dr. Jaco Kraan is a Researcher at Erasmus MC, affiliated with the Department of Medical Oncology at Erasmus University Rotterdam. His research focuses on circulating tumor cells (CTCs), genomics, and epigenetics in cancers such as prostate, ovarian, and metastatic melanoma. Key interests include biomarker discovery, drug resistance mechanisms, and molecular diagnostics.

Recent work includes studies on CTCs in prostate cancer cell lines, PARP-inhibitor resistance in ovarian cancer, and the role of cancer-associated fibroblasts in metastatic prostate cancer. His publications span clinical trials, genomic analysis, and secretome profiling.

Dr. Kraan has supervised 1 student and contributed to over 130 research outputs, emphasizing translational oncology and precision medicine. Collaborations involve multidisciplinary teams across molecular biology, genetics, and clinical oncology.
