Current winner

Jules Derks

 

More targeted treatment for patients with rare neuroendocrine lung cancer; that is what Dr. Jules Derks, pulmonologist at Erasmus MC, aims to achieve with his research. An effective treatment is still lacking.

 

Thanks to the Daniel den Hoed Award, Derks can search for a more effective and personalized treatment for patients with rare neuroendocrine lung cancer. "There's still a lot of uncertainty about the best treatment. We can't treat patients with this disease effectively. That has to change."
