Han van Krieken

A pathologist with special expertise in gastrointestinal and hematopathology, Han is immediate past President of the European Society of Pathology, the chair and department head of pathology at Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen, as well as co-chair of the RadboudUMC Center for Oncology. He chose to enter pathology because of the intellectual challenge and the huge impact pathologists have on patients’ wellbeing, and says that the highlight of his career was “the discovery that mantle cell lymphoma is a distinct entity that can be easily diagnosed using cyclin D1 staining.”
