About Chella van der Post

“An excellent pathologist with broad interests from histology to molecular processes,” says one nominator. “Chella has experience with state-of-the-art molecular techniques like targeted NGS assays and exome sequencing. Therefore, she is a very good sparring partner for clinical scientists in pathology.” Other nominators called attention to her role as representative of all medical trainees in the Netherlands – the first time a pathologist has held such a position – or to her status as first author of the authoritative clinical guidelines on hereditary diffuse gastric cancer. Also mentioned were her attention to both research and patient care, her talent for conceiving original and sound research ideas, and her commitment to any task she takes on in her work as a young investigator at Radboud UMC. “This, together with the successful leadership she has shown, makes her a young investigator of high esteem and high potential” – warm praise from others in pathology!
