Paul Essers Netherlands Cancer Institute Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Paul Essers received his PhD in 2013 at the University of Utrecht for his work at the Hubrecht Institute in the laboratory of Alyson MacInnes, where he worked on models of ribosome biogenesis defects and regulation of protein synthesis. In 2014, he joined the laboratory of Prof Linda Partridge at the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing (Cologne, Germany), where he received a Marie Curie Individual Fellowship, to continue his work studying the role of protein synthesis regulation in long-lived animal models. In 2015, he shifted his attention to oncology and moved to the Netherlands Cancer Institute (Amsterdam, The Netherlands), where he uses machine learning techniques to predict DNA repair defects.
