Mathé van Balkum

Mathé van Balkum serves as a Researcher in the Department of General Practice at Erasmus University Medical Center Rotterdam, specializing in endocrine disorders with emphasis on thyroid pathologies.

Her core research domains include:

• Endocrinology
• Thyroid Cancer
• Graves' Disease
• Immunoassays
• Risk Stratification
• Survival Analysis

Current work integrates clinical practice with laboratory diagnostics, particularly in validating TSH-receptor antibody assays for autoimmune thyroid conditions and refining survival prediction models for thyroid cancer through comparative analysis of risk stratification systems. This research directly impacts diagnostic protocols and patient management strategies in endocrinology.
