195 CURRICULUM VITAE Hanneke van der Wijngaart was born on December 8th 1985 in Ridderkerk, the Netherlands. She finished secondary school at the Libanon Lyceum in Rotterdam in 2004. Subsequently she started her medical training at the VU University Medical Center in Amsterdam. During her medical training, Hanneke has been an active member of the European Medical Students Association (EMSA), where she served the European Executive Board as Vice-President (2006-2007) and as President (20082009). She paused her studies for 8 months for an internship at the Standing Committee of European Doctors (CPME) in Brussels, Belgium (2008). Hanneke obtained her medical degree in 2011. After having worked as a resident not in training at the department of internal medicine at the Zaans Medisch Centrum in Zaandam for one year, she started her training to become an internist at Medisch Centrum Alkmaar (MCA, nowadays NoordWest Ziekenhuisgroep). After four years of training in Alkmaar, including a four-month internship in the Diakonessenhuis in Paramaribo, Surinam, she transferred to the Amsterdam University Medical Centers in 2016 to continue her training as a fellow in medical oncology. During her fellowship, Hanneke developed an interest for academic research and was given the opportunity to start a PhD project. In 2017 she paused her medical oncology training for four years to embark on a PhD project, under supervision of prof. dr. H.M.W. Verheul, prof. dr. E.E. Voest and dr. M. Labots. During these four years, Hanneke worked as one of the national coordinators of the Drug Rediscovery Protocol (DRUP trial), an ongoing investigator initiated, multi-center, multi-drug, pan-cancer phase 2 basket/umbrella trial in which patients with advanced cancer are treated with targeted anti-cancer drugs based on their tumor molecular profiles. She also engaged in a translational project on renal cell cancer, aiming to use global phosphoproteomics to find tissue-based biomarkers for response to sunitinib. In a collaborative project with the Thermal Physics department of the University of Twente, Hanneke worked on benchmarking a newly developed snap freezer for optimal preservation of tissues to facilitate molecular profiling on clinical samples. In September 2023, Hanneke finished her training and became a medical oncologist. Since November 2023 she works as a medical oncologist in the Maastricht University Medical Center (MUMC+) in Maastricht, where she focuses on the care for patient with skin cancer, renal-, prostate- bladder- and testicular cancer and tumors with unknown primary origin. She plans to continue her clinical research in the field of precision oncology and tissue molecular profiling. Hanneke currently lives in Maastricht with her partner Tjipto and their two children Ava (2018) and Tom (2021).
