Renate van den Bos

Renate van den Bos is a researcher in the Department of Dermatology at Erasmus MC, Faculty of Medicine. Her work bridges dermatology and vascular surgery, with a focus on skin cancers and venous disorders. She actively contributes to clinical research on patient outcomes, quality of life, and cost-effectiveness of treatments.

Research Interests: Her primary areas include skin cancer (especially squamous cell carcinoma and lentigo maligna), venous diseases such as post-thrombotic syndrome and varicose veins, and long-term patient outcomes. She investigates treatment modalities like Mohs surgery, brachytherapy, and saphenous ablation, emphasizing evidence-based decision-making.

The recent articles show a strong trend in developing prediction models, evaluating stent patency, and assessing quality of life after vascular and dermatological interventions. Her work frequently involves collaborative, multi-center clinical studies with a translational focus.

Scientific Contributions:

• Active contributor to 89 research outputs, including original articles, reviews, and a doctoral thesis.
• Focus on high-impact clinical questions in dermatology and vascular surgery.

Advising and Grants: She has supervised at least four academic works, indicating involvement in mentoring junior researchers or students. While specific grants are not listed, her research on cost-effectiveness and long-term outcomes suggests potential funding in health services and clinical research domains.

Labs and Teams: She collaborates closely with clinicians and researchers in vascular and dermatological specialties at Erasmus MC, particularly with M. J. E. van Rijn and W. S. J. Malskat, contributing to a multidisciplinary network focused on improving patient care through data-driven approaches.
