Biography
Onno Kranenburg received his PhD in 1995 from Leiden University (Prof Lex van der Eb). He then studied RAS and RHO small GTPase signaling in cancer in the Netherlands Cancer Institute (Prof Wouter Moolenaar). In 2000 he became senior Post-Doc in the Dept of Medical Oncology in the UMC Utrecht (Prof Emile Voest) where he started his translational studies on the mechanism of action of anti-angiogenic drugs. In 2003 he became Assistant Professor and PI at the Dept. of Surgery (Prof Inne Borel Rinkes) and started to work on the mechanisms of colon cancer metastasis, initially focusing on the role of the K-RAS oncogene. In 2006 he became Associate Professor, head of the Surgery Lab and staff member at the Dept. of Surgery. In 2012 he became coordinator of the PhD research school Clinical and Translational Oncology. In 2015 he was appointed Professor of Surgical and Translational Tumor Biology at the Cancer Center UMC Utrecht where he continues to design and test novel strategies for the prevention and treatment of colon cancer metastasis.
