Biography
Dr. HM van Santen moved her career in 2013 to Utrecht to support the Máxima initiative and to coordinate the endocrine care for children with cancer in the Princess Máxima Center.
She has co-authored > 100 articles on the endocrine effects of childhood cancer treatment, craniopharyngioma and pediatric thyroid cancer.
She is an associate professor, PI and clinical scientist in the research program of Child Health, WKZ, UMCU and co-PI in the Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology.
Her research program focuses on the endocrine and metabolic effects of children with severe disease such as childhood craniopharyngioma, the acute and late effects of childhood cancer treatment on the endocrine system, and on pediatric thyroid cancer. The overall aim of her work is to preserve an intact endocrine system in children with neoplasms enabling normal growth and development into adulthood.

Also she chairs the Late Effects of Childhood Cancer International Guideline Harmonization Groups (IGHG) for thyroid and hypothalamic-pituitary disorders, and is member of the IGHG working groups for male and female gonadal toxicity and preservation of fertility and metabolic syndrome.
She is chair of the Dutch and the European Guideline for Thyroid cancer in children (ETA) and the coordinator of the NFU/ ENDO-ERN expertise center Thyroid Tumors in Utrecht.
Furthermore, Dr Hm van Santen is a member of the SIOP low grade glioma working group, the national consortium for Late effects of treatment for childhood thyroid carcinoma, the consortium of the Dexadagen-2 study, the Dutch Growth Hormone Advisory board and has a consultative function for the “Cyberpoli” for thyroid diseases and craniopharyngioma.
