Alexander Thouin

I completed my BSc (hons) in biomedical science at the University of Bath (UK), after which I undertook a research masters at the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen (NL). During my masters, I did an internship with prof. dr. Arjan Kortholt in the biochemistry department investigating LRRK2 signaling in Parkinson's disease.

My second internship was in the lab of prof. dr. Marcel van Vugt at the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG). There I worked on DNA-damage response pathways related to cancer therapy. Currently, at the NKI, I will investigate the mechanisms of DNA repair at double-stranded breaks and de-protected telomeres.
