Vera Boersma

After receiving her Masters degree in cancer genomics and developmental biology from the Utrecht University, Vera attended a PhD program at the NKI. During her PhD she focused on the role of DNA repair mechanisms in telomere dysfuncion. She identified a new factor involved in DNA repair of double strand breaks which led to a publication in Nature.

At Cergentis Vera is working as a product developer on the optimisation of the TLA technology for oncogenetic applications.
