The research of Dr. Dieuwertje Kok focusses on the relation between nutrition and cancer with a strong emphasis on mechanistic and clinical research. She wants to integrate knowledge from different disciplines to better understand risk factors for cancer development and progression. As a consequence, her work is strongly characterized by a multidisciplinary approach. Currently, she is working on the integration of epigenetic, transcriptomic, metagenomic and other complex molecular datasets from animal and human studies with a strong link to intestinal health and cancer research in clinical practice.
