On November 22nd 2024, Madelon de Jong defended her thesis entitled “Bone marrow inflammation in multiple myeloma”. Both the thesis and the defense were deemed of extraordinary quality and therefore she received her degree with a cum laude distinction.
Madelon’s thesis described original research on the bone marrow environment in multiple myeloma patients, performed under supervison of Dr Tom Cupedo and Prof Dr Pieter Sonneveld at our department.
The major finding from Madelon’s thesis work is the identification of the tumor-supportive bone marrow niche for myeloma tumor cells, consisting of activated stromal and immune cells.
Madelon is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology in Oxford, UK.
