DAAN SMIT DUIJZENTKUNST
University Medical Center Utrecht
Utrecht, The Netherlands
Son of an occupational doctor and a nursing home doctor, Daan
Smit Duijzentkunst studied Medicine at Utrecht University.
For his final rotation, he obtained a research internship at the
department of Radiotherapy of the University Medical Center
Utrecht. Under the auspices of and in collaboration with
Max Peters, MD PhD, the focus of his work was on prostate
cancer treatment, both in the primary and salvage setting.
After graduation, he started working as a PhD student at the
department of Nuclear Medicine at the Erasmus Medical
Center Rotterdam. His current research is on the treatment of
neuroendocrine tumours using Peptide Receptor Radionuclide
Therapy. This treatment, using 177-Lutetium labeled peptides,
may break grounds for the prostate-specific membrane antigen
(PSMA) based treatment of prostate cancer.
