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.
