Paul Essers

Netherlands Cancer Institute

Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Paul Essers received his PhD in 2013 at the University of Utrecht

for his work at the Hubrecht Institute in the laboratory of Alyson

MacInnes, where he worked on models of ribosome biogenesis defects

and regulation of protein synthesis. In 2014, he joined the laboratory of

Prof Linda Partridge at the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing

(Cologne, Germany), where he received a Marie Curie Individual

Fellowship, to continue his work studying the role of protein synthesis

regulation in long-lived animal models. In 2015, he shifted his

attention to oncology and moved to the Netherlands Cancer Institute

(Amsterdam, The Netherlands), where he uses machine learning

techniques to predict DNA repair defects.
