The idea that every oncologist, every child, and every parent could access the full spectrum of precise diagnostic information in the shortest possible time is truly inspiring.

This vision has been my greatest motivation, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to spend six months at the Princess Máxima Center in Utrecht next year. I will gain extensive experience in nanopore sequencing, RNA sequencing, and other cutting-edge molecular techniques.
Our vision in action:
🧠 Real-time nanopore sequencing in the operating room, giving surgeons answers when they matter most.
🔬 Fast and precise sequencing of solid tumors, bringing clarity to families sooner.
👨👩👧 Genetic testing for germline mutations, ensuring no hidden risks are left behind.
Thanks to the Grasshopper Consortium, the expertise, connections, and experience I will gain will enable me to bring this vision back home—creating a new workplace equipped with modern diagnostic tools for all children in need.
