Josephine Nguyen

Josephine Nguyen is a Researcher in the Department of Ophthalmology at Erasmus University Medical Center Rotterdam, specializing in uveal melanoma molecular genetics. Her work focuses on spliceosome mutations, transcription factors, and genomic biomarkers in ocular oncology.

Her primary research areas include Uveal Melanoma, Molecular Genetics of Ocular Tumors, and Transcriptional Regulation in Melanocyte Development. Nguyen investigates how SF3B1 and BAP1 mutations drive tumor progression, with emphasis on chromosome 8q abnormalities and FOXD1 transcription factor roles. Her work integrates genomic profiling with clinical outcomes to identify metastatic risk predictors.

Analysis of her publications reveals consistent focus on molecular mechanisms of uveal melanoma progression. Key trends include spliceosome inhibition therapeutics, metastasis prediction models based on mutational profiles, and developmental biology links to high-risk tumors. Her research bridges basic molecular mechanisms with clinical prognostic applications.

Nguyen actively collaborates with the Rotterdam Ocular Melanoma Study Group (ROMS), contributing to multi-institutional research on ocular oncology. Her work demonstrates strong translational potential for improving risk stratification and targeted therapies in uveal melanoma.
