Professor and Head of the Pathology department at Antwerp University Hospital / University of Antwerp (Belgium), with focus on Head and Neck pathology.
She works intensively on improving surgical-pathological communication for better diagnosis, surgical results and patient outcome. She furthermore coordinates close collaboration with other academic Head and Neck centers and affiliated non-academic institutes, to facilitate design and execution of large multi-center studies.
She focuses on histological, clinical and molecular aspects of pre-neoplasia and is conducting extensive study on histological diagnosis (and classification) of pre-neoplasia in head and neck region and potential role of biomarkers in aiding the diagnosis.
Her department of Pathology has an open door policy for developments in photonics and optical spectroscopies and is a bridge between clinical practice and Photonics, to enable improved diagnosis and treatment.
Research is translational with focus on medical applications of Photonics, in particular applications of Raman spectroscopy-based tools in Head and Neck surgery (Raman-guided surgical resections facilitating safe surgical margins in oral cancer).
