## Description

Lara Heij’s professional platform shares the work of a clinician-scientist and diagnostic pathologist focused on pancreatic cancer and cholangiocarcinoma, a cancer that begins in the bile ducts of the liver. Working across clinical practice and research in the Netherlands and Germany, Heij aims to deepen understanding of these diseases and contribute to better patient outcomes and quality of life.

Her research examines the tumor microenvironment, including nerve fibers, immune cells, and fibroblasts, to identify biological patterns and potential predictive biomarkers. The team uses a multidisciplinary mix of laboratory and computational approaches, including CyTOF, single-nucleus RNA sequencing, nerve fiber staining, multiplex imaging, DNA analysis, and deep learning. Projects include analyzing liver transplant biopsies, studying cancer histology, and exploring whether image-based algorithms can help predict lymph node status.

The site also introduces the research team, shares project updates and conference news, and provides access to publications on cancer biology, biomarkers, and clinical outcomes. It invites readers to follow new findings and welcomes opportunities for collaboration.
