International PhD Programme in Translational Oncology

Prof. dr. Rudi Hendriks studied Biology at the University of Utrecht, the Netherlands, and did his PhD studies on X chromosome inactivation patterns in human X-linked immunodeficiency diseases in the Department of Immunohaematology at the Leiden University Medical Center (Prof. J.J. van Rood; Dr. R.K.B. Schuurman) in 1991. After a post-doctoral training in the Genetics Laboratory of the University of Oxford, UK, where he studied genetic aspects of X chromosome inactivation, he started his own line of research within the lab of Prof. Frank Grosveld at the Department of Cell Biology and Genetics of the Erasmus MC Rotterdam, the Netherlands. In 1999 he moved his group to the Department of Immunology at the Erasmus MC, where he continued his research on the developmental program of lymphocytes in relation to immunodeficiency diseases and leukemia. Since Dr. Rudi W. Hendriks moved to the Department of Pulmonary Medicine in 2007, his research is focused on the role of B, T and innate lymphocytes in pulmonary immunity, in particular in allergic airway inflammation and autoimmune processes.
