The van de Rijn & West lab
Our research focuses on the study of human tumors by using and developing a range of techniques on extracting genomic and proteomic data from patient derived archival material( formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded(FFPE)). We perform our genomic analyses include RNAseq, exome-seq and 3SEQ for gene expression profiling and mutation calling and followed by validation of the data with in situ hybridization or immunohistochemistry on tissue microarrays. Our goal is to find new diagnostic and prognostic markers in sarcoma and cancer, and to identify potential therapeutic targets.
