Martha Grootenhuis serves as Full Professor of Pediatric Psycho-Oncology at Utrecht University and Principal Investigator at the Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology, contributing to the Cancer Child Health strategic program. Her dual institutional roles bridge academic research with clinical implementation in pediatric oncology.
Her research portfolio centers on:
- Pediatric Psycho-Oncology interventions
- Long-term survivorship outcomes
- Developmentally appropriate diagnosis communication
- Genetic counseling frameworks
- AI integration in clinical oncology
Recent publications (2024-2025) reveal a cohesive research trajectory examining communication dynamics in leukemia diagnosis, survivorship anxiety patterns, genetic testing experiences, and emerging AI applications. These works demonstrate methodological diversity spanning qualitative analysis of recorded clinical conversations, large-scale survivorship studies, and implementation science frameworks.
As Principal Investigator at the Princess Máxima Center, she leads multidisciplinary teams integrating psychological science with medical oncology, collaborating with clinicians across UMC Utrecht and national pediatric cancer networks to translate research into clinical practice.
