Jan N.M. IJzermans

Jan N.M. IJzermans is a Professor in the Department of Surgery at Erasmus MC, Faculty of Medicine. His clinical and research work is centered on transplantation surgery and surgical oncology, with a strong emphasis on liver and kidney transplantation, hepatocellular carcinoma, and colorectal cancer. He is actively involved in high-impact research, as evidenced by multiple 2025 publications in leading journals.

His research interests span Transplantation Surgery, Liver and Kidney Transplantation, Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Cholangiocarcinoma, Living Donor Transplantation, and Molecular Oncology. He applies advanced methodologies including systematic reviews and molecular subtyping to improve clinical outcomes in surgical oncology and transplantation.

The recent publications highlight a strong trend toward precision medicine and immune modulation in transplantation and cancer surgery. His work integrates molecular profiling (e.g., consensus molecular subtypes) with clinical decision-making, especially in timing of transplantation and adjuvant therapy. There is a clear focus on optimizing surgical outcomes through physiological interventions (e.g., fasting) and medical devices (e.g., stenting).

While no specific scientific awards are listed in the provided text, his extensive publication record and leadership in high-impact studies suggest recognition in the medical community.

Prof. IJzermans has supervised 67 research projects, indicating a significant role in mentoring junior researchers and clinicians. Although specific grants are not mentioned, his research output across multiple domains suggests sustained funding and collaborative leadership in large multidisciplinary teams.

He is actively engaged in a broad research network, collaborating across institutions and contributing to major advances in transplantation immunology and cancer surgery. His recent work involves tools like NanoCMSer and studies on fasting-induced immune effects, placing him at the forefront of translational surgical research.
