Sebastian van der Voort

Sebastian van der Voort is a Researcher in the Department of Radiology & Nuclear Medicine at Erasmus University Medical Center (Erasmus MC), specializing in advanced neuroimaging techniques for brain tumor characterization. His work bridges medical imaging, neuroscience, and computational oncology with a focus on glioma microenvironment assessment.

His primary research interests include

• Magnetic Resonance Imaging methodology development
• Quantitative analysis of brain tumor microvasculature
• Glioma growth modeling and hypoxia assessment
• Integration of radiomics with histopathology
• Convolutional neural networks for medical image analysis

His recent publications demonstrate a strong emphasis on translating imaging biomarkers into clinically relevant neurooncology applications, particularly for low-grade gliomas and gangliogliomas.

Analysis of his recent publications (2023-2024) reveals a consistent focus on imaging-histopathology correlation across multiple modalities, with particular attention to microvascular architecture, tumor hypoxia, and growth prediction modeling. His work spans technical MRI methodology development, clinical validation studies, and regulatory frameworks for medical imaging data.

Dr. van der Voort actively collaborates with multidisciplinary teams including neurosurgeons, radiologists, pathologists, and data scientists, as evidenced by his co-authorship on studies involving intraoperative ultrasound, histopathological validation, and computational modeling. His research outputs demonstrate strong translational potential for improving brain tumor diagnosis and treatment monitoring.
