The OncoProteomics Laboratory (OPL) has been founded in April 2006 together with the establishment of the cancer research CCA-building. The OPL was created to provide a state-of-the-art proteomics infrastructure and knowledge center for CCA/V-ICI researchers. Besides many projects related to cancer, biomarker research is carried out in the context of neurodegenerative diseases.

Organisation.

The OPL is housed at the Dept. of Medical Oncology. Head of the unit is scientist/coordinator Dr. CR Jimenez who is leading a team of scientists (a mass spectrometrist, Dr. S. Piersma; a computer scientist, Dr. T. Pham; and a biochemical technician, Dr. J. Knol) as well as co-workers on temporary projects and PhD students, post-docs and technicians on collaborative projects. Please visit the people-page for our current team composition.
