Riëtte de Bruijn

Dr. Riëtte de Bruijn is a Researcher at Erasmus University Rotterdam, affiliated with the Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery. Her work focuses on photodynamic therapy (PDT) for cancer treatment, particularly in prostate and pancreatic cancers, as well as otologic surgery applications.

Research Interests: Dr. de Bruijn specializes in Photodynamic Therapy, targeting molecular markers like PSMA in Oncology, and developing imaging tools for Medical Imaging in otologic surgery. Her research spans Pharmacology (photosensitizer development), Immunology (immune checkpoint inhibitors), and Biomedical Engineering (fluorescent imaging technologies).

Publication Trends: Over the past five years, her work has centered on PDT applications in pancreatic cancer models, prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) targeting, and nanobody-based therapies. She has explored autofluorescence imaging for surgical diagnostics and intravital microscopy for real-time tumor response analysis.
