Together, we turn hope into progress.

It is a privilege to chair the Supervisory Board of Stichting Overleven met Alvleesklierkanker (Support Casper). Having overcome breast cancer myself, I am deeply committed to the goal of giving people with pancreatic cancer a genuine prospect of survival. I will work wholeheartedly with my fellow board members and the foundation to advance this mission.

I lost both of my parents to cancer, including my father to pancreatic cancer. Every initiative that can improve treatment or lead to a cure gives me renewed energy. Being part of this committed team allows me to channel that energy into meaningful action.

Fair access to innovative medicines is central to my work. The need for more effective pancreatic cancer treatments remains urgent. I strongly support the foundation’s investment in clinical virotherapy and immunotherapy studies, as well as facilities such as the ATMP production centre at Erasmus MC that enable pioneering research.
