Jules Derks

Jules Derks is a Researcher in the Department of Pulmonary Medicine at Erasmus University Medical Center, focusing on neuroendocrine tumors and lung cancer diagnostics. Key research areas include immunohistochemical analysis, radiomics, and translational oncology.

• Active in molecular subgrouping of pulmonary carcinoids
• Specializing in deep learning applications for histopathological subtyping
• Investigating therapeutic vulnerabilities through homeobox gene expression and Notch signaling pathways

Research Trends: Recent work emphasizes AI-driven diagnostic tools (2025), molecular profiling of lung tumors, and cross-disciplinary applications of radiomics for LCNEC subtypes (2020). Emerging interest in immune cell infiltration and drug mechanisms like tamsulosin's role in tumor biology.

Collaborative Networks: Regularly collaborates with experts in oncology (Dingemans, Speel), computational biology (Woodruff, Lambin), and molecular pathology (von der Thüsen, Hillen) across peer-reviewed platforms like Journal of Thoracic Oncology and Laboratory Investigation.
