FACULTY
Dr. Jan von der Thüsen is specializing in histopathology with a focus on thoracic and cardiovascular pathology. Educated at the Universities of Cambridge and London, he completed his specialist training at Leiden University Medical Centre, The Netherlands, where he also earned his Ph.D. for research on gene therapy for atherosclerosis. Dr. Thüsen developed his subspecialty in thoracic pathology through roles at the Academic Medical Centre in Amsterdam and the Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust in London. Currently, he is the lead thoracic pathologist at Erasmus Medical Centre in Rotterdam, where his research encompasses the pathology of lung and mediastinal neoplasms, fibrotic lung disease, and transplantation pathology.
Dr. Michael den Bakker, a distinguished researcher in Pathology at Erasmus MC (Erasmus University Medical Center) in Rotterdam, Netherlands, has made significant contributions to our understanding of various medical conditions. His work encompasses critical areas such as neuroendocrine carcinoma, thymic epithelial tumors, and unusual thymoma subtypes. Dr. den Bakker’s expertise extends to asymptomatic lipofibroadenoma and innovative techniques like NeuroSAFE in radical prostatectomy. Through meticulous research, he enhances patient care and advances the field of pathology.
