Canine Mast Cell Tumours

In 2010 I graduated at Ghent University in Belgium after which I spent some time in first opinion practise in the UK. I enrolled in a rotating internship at an oncology referral centre, which fuelled my interest in small animal oncology. I proceeded with a 4 year internship/residency training program in oncology at Edinburgh University and I have been working as a lecturer at Edinburgh University since June 2016 after which I attained the Diploma of European College of Veterinary Internal Medicine – Companion Animals (oncology) in 2018. I thoroughly enjoy working as part of a big team, which consists of 2 radiation oncologists, 2 medical oncologists, 4 residents, 2 interns, 3 nurses and 1 therapeutic radiographer. I have been involved in variable research projects but my main interest is detecting and highlighting common mistakes and misconceptions within veterinary oncology. I am passionate about teaching veterinary students, interns and oncology residents and thoroughly enjoy interaction with referring veterinarians.
