Jolien's manuscript is now published by the Journal of Pathology !!
In this paper we show some pretty compelling evidence that loss of αE-catenin underpins E-cadherin expressing Invasive Lobular Breast Cancer. Click here for the Epub ahead of print. (May 2018) |
The Lord lab has published a new and exciting finding in collaboration with our lab showing that Lobular Breast Cancer depends on active Ros1 and are susceptible to Crizotinib inhibition!

Elvira Bakker has been awarded an Innovational Research Incentives Scheme VENI grant from NWO,
AND
a Young Investigator Grant from KWF!!
This personal award and prestigious grant will allow her to start her group as independent PI in our lab!!
Her research will focus on how R-Spondins drive breast cancer.

We published Jolien's paper on prophylactic intraductal intervention of hereditary breast cancer in Oncotarget !
Caution is warranted for future clininal prevention trials: our studies in mice show that despite successful inhibition of breast cancer formation, intraductal cisplatin administration causes systemic tumor formation after long latency periods. You can find the PDF for this paper on our output page, and an Editorial in Ageing here. (July-2017) |
Our views on what makes E-cadherin mutant cancer 'tick' from a biochemical point of view and options for future clinical intervention are published in this week's
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology Review Series.
You can also find the paper on our output page.

KWF has funded our 2016 research proposal!
This grant worth 610K€ will enable us to functionally address how genetic lesions other that E-cadherin inactivation contribute to ILC tumor development and progression. We will perform research together with the lab of Edwin Cuppen

Developmental Cell just published our collaborative paper with
Ben Bouchet and Anna Akhmanova! "Mesenchymal Cell Invasion Requires Cooperative Regulation of Persistent Microtubule Growth by SLAIN2 and CLASP1" In this paper, findings are presented that are based on a project from the Akhmanova lab. We have performed the in vivo experiments in mouse models of breast cancer. Check out the on-line ePub here. (Nov-2016) |
October is Breast Cancer Month! Our joint ERC-FET grant with the De Rooij lab was high-lighted at the UMC Utrecht.
RTV Utrecht broadcasted an interview about this grant (download the interview).

Together wilt the lab of Johan de Rooij, our lab has received a Horizon 2020 grant worth 2.3M€!
In this consortium-based H2020-FET proposal we will study how breast cancer cells connect to the microenvironment and use those connections to metastasize.

KWF has chosen our research into FER kinase as their "Pet" project, which means that Derksenlab.org is one of the Ambassadors and Team KWF members during the Utrecht Marathon (March 19, 2017). Some of our lab members are going to run 10K during this event to support cancer research and cancer treatment. Check out this happening here.
