Richarda de Voer, PhD
Translational Researcher
Dr. Richarda M. de Voer is an Associate Professor of Cancer Genomics at the Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. She obtained her Bachelor of Applied Sciences from Avans University of Applied Sciences and a Ph.D. in Immunology from the University of Utrecht, The Netherlands. Her research focuses on the genetic predispositions and mutational processes underlying early-onset cancer and multiple primary tumors. Dr. de Voer’s work aims to identify novel genetic variants and understand cancer development mechanisms through state-of-the-art omics analyses and genomic studies. By examining the somatic mutational landscape of tumor DNA, she seeks to differentiate between hereditary cancer and other mutagenic processes. Her ultimate goal is to translate these findings into clinical practice to enhance patient care, improve treatment outcomes, and provide personalized cancer surveillance and genetic counseling.
