Karin van Garderen

Karin van Garderen is a researcher at Erasmus MC, with affiliations in both Radiology & Nuclear Medicine and Ophthalmology departments. Her work bridges neuro-oncology and ocular disease research.

• Specializes in Mendelian randomization for disease associations
• Develops neural network applications for medical imaging
• Focuses on DNA methylation in brain tumors

Recent publications examine:

• Corneal-glaucoma genetic links (2025)
• Carotid artery disease and glaucoma risk (2025)
• Deep learning for OCT scan analysis (2024)
• Prognostic differences between glioma subtypes (2024)
• Chemoradiation imaging changes in glioblastoma (2024)

Her research integrates computational imaging with molecular oncology, particularly in promoter region methylation and neural network modeling.
