About our Department

Our research

Pathology is a medical specialism emphasizing patient diagnosis. For diseases and so-called cancer precursor lesions as detected in population based programmed screening (cervical-, breast- and colon cancer). In fact, this applies to all ailments and diseases where morphology, as determined by microscopic, immunohistochemical and molecular methods, are essential for the diagnosis. Pathologists are involved in all tumour- multidisciplinary meetings (MDM's) in the Erasmus MC. Bases on pathology results, treatment decisions, increasingly precise, can be made.

At the department of pathology of the Erasmus MC, staff and personal is also engaged with tuition (bachelor and master students, PhD student, residents in pathology). Pathology is a specialty with a large scope and plays a role both in fundamentals and final patient management in the curriculum of medicine. A considerably part of the resources is dedicated to research in order to understand disease and contribute to better treatment. Researchers collaborate with other departments and the Pathology cell- and tissue ban.

Principal Investigators

Research lines

Clinical and Translational Research Program of Genito Urinary Medical Oncology

This research group initiates and collaborates in investigator, as well as Industry initiated and sponsored phase 1-3 clinical trials, as well as translational research in urological cancers.

De Maat Lab

Understanding the biochemistry of haemostasis and thrombosis leads to optimal treatment of disease bleeding and thrombotic

Erasmus MC Tissue Bank

Making tissues collected for diagnostic purposes available for research following the appropriate rules and legislation, guidelines and standards.

Group Dinjens

Moleculair research

Group Fodde

The main research goal of our laboratory is the elucidation of the molecular and cellular basis of tumor initiation and progression, and the translation of these mechanisms into preventive and therapeutic intervention.

Group Houtsmuller

In vivo dynamics and reaction kinetics from nuclear process

Group Kros

Neuro-Oncology

Group Stubbs

We have developed MolDia; a secure reporting platform for molecular diagnostics. We deliver image analysis (e.g. automated hotspot detection) and to somatic variation predictions using the Galaxy platform.

Group Van Deurzen

We aim to understand breast cancer progression and treatment response by studying both cancer cells and the micro-environment.

Group Van Leenders

The research activities of the Van Leenders group generally aim at translation of novel molecular and biological insights in prostate cancer to in daily pathological health care.

Group Zwarthoff

Molecular Pathology

Gyn Pathology

Gyn Pathology

Immupathology Research Cluster

Combining knowledge and efforts to unravel various aspects of the immune response involved in the development, maintenance and resolution of disease.

Laboratory for Calcium and Bone Metabolism

The overall aim of the research group is to understand the mechanisms behind skeletal disorders and discover novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of disturbances in bone and mineral homeostasis.

Pulmonary Oncology

Raman spectroscopie and surgical precision

Raman spectroscopie and surgical precision

Skin Cancer

We conduct research on early detection, epidemiology, treatment outcomes, quality of life and risk prediction of skin cancer
