The Van Boxtel group
Our group is specialized in translational research in pediatric lymphomas. We combine immunological, biological and molecular genetic research to identify new, clinically applicable therapeutic interventions.

Within our team, we identify immunoregulatory mechanisms in lymphoma cells and in cells of the local microenvironment using of state-of-the-art techniques, including single-cell RNA and DNA sequencing and spectral flow cytometry.

Moreover, we work on innovating various cellular immunotherapies (TCR-T cells, CAR-T cells, TIL therapy). For validation of promising interventions _in vitro_, we have generated culture models of primary lymphoma tissue.

Next to this, we have a strong molecular team, including a bioinformatics team. With the combined expertise of these teams we intend to identify novel therapies. We now want to study some of these promising interventions in our novel model.
