DAAN SMIT DUIJZENTKUNST University Medical Center Utrecht Utrecht, The Netherlands

Son of an occupational doctor and a nursing home doctor, Daan Smit Duijzentkunst studied Medicine at Utrecht University. For his final rotation, he obtained a research internship at the department of Radiotherapy of the University Medical Center Utrecht. Under the auspices of and in collaboration with Max Peters, MD PhD, the focus of his work was on prostate cancer treatment, both in the primary and salvage setting. After graduation, he started working as a PhD student at the department of Nuclear Medicine at the Erasmus Medical Center Rotterdam. His current research is on the treatment of neuroendocrine tumours using Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy. This treatment, using 177-Lutetium labeled peptides, may break grounds for the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) based treatment of prostate cancer.
