Julie Nonnekens is Associate Professor at the Erasmus MC in Rotterdam. Julie obtained her PhD in cancer biology with the focus on DNA repair mechanisms at the University of Toulouse, France in 2013. After that, she was a postdoc at the Hubrecht Institute working on ribosome biogenesis in cancer and longevity. In 2014 Julie joined the Erasmus MC with a joint appointment at the Department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine and Department of Molecular Genetics. Her group is studying DNA damage repair mechanisms to better understand the underlying radiobiology of molecular radionuclide anticancer treatment in order to ultimately optimize nuclear medicine treatment regimens.Julie has received several (young investigator) awards and is principal investigator on various research grants including the prestigious ERC starting grant. She is chair of the Netherlands Society for Radiobiology (NVRB) and co-founder of the European working group on Radiobiology of Molecular Radionuclide Therapy.
