Linda Douw, PhD, is an associate professor at Amsterdam University Medical Centers, and leads the Multiscale Network Neuroscience section of the department of Anatomy and Neurosciences. She is a clinical neuropsychologist by training and has been using network theory to further our understanding of pathophysiology and treatment of glioma since 2007. She completed her PhD on the interplay between cognition, epilepsy and brain networks in glioma in 2010, and did a postdoc on multimodal network science in epilepsy and glioma between 2011-2014 at the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging (Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School/Massachusetts Institute of Technology). Linda is currently involved in multiscale investigations of neuron-glioma cross-talk on the more fundamental side of neuro-oncological research, but also aims to work translationally as she co-leads a multi-arm trial platform aimed at improving quality of survivorship in glioma patients.
