Dr. Monika Wolkers is a Research Group Head at the Sanquin Blood Supply Foundation and an Associate Professor at the University of Amsterdam. Dr. Wolkers’ lab investigates molecular mechanisms that define the levels of cytokine production in effector T cells and in exhausted T cells, with a focus on post-transcriptional regulation. They aim to manipulate these mechanisms to reprogram exhausted tumor-infiltrating T cells back into proficient effector T cells.
