ALA YAROMINA Dept. of Radiation Oncology (Maastro Lab), Grow - School for Oncology and Developmental Biology, Maastricht University Medical Centre Maastricht, The Netherlands

Ala Yaromina, a native of Belarus, studied environmental science at the International Sakharov Environmental University in Minsk. In 2003 she graduated from University College London having attained the European M.Sc in Radiation Biology under the directorship of Prof Klaus Trott. She studied for her PhD research at the Technische Universität Dresden, Medical Faculty, Department of Radiation Oncology, Germany, under the supervision of Prof Michael Baumann and Prof Daniel Zips. She investigated the impact of various pre-treatment parameters of tumour microenvironment on radiation response in pre- clinical models of cancer. After her PhD she continued working at the OncoRay Center for Radiation Research in Oncology, Dresden, focusing on radiation-induced changes in tumour microenvironment and their association with radiotherapy outcome as well as on predictive biomarkers. In 2012 she joined the group of Prof Philippe Lambin at the Department of Radiation Oncology (MAASTRO), Maastricht University, The Netherlands, focusing on targeting of Carbonic Anhydrase IX in tumours using novel drugs. Her latest research project includes one of a kind pre-clinical studies testing positron emission tomography (PET) based dose-painting approaches, using state-of-the-art clinical imaging and radiotherapy platforms.
