About
Dr. Marloes Steehouwer is a leading figure in the field of precision oncology, with a primary focus on the clinical implementation of whole genome sequencing (WGS) for cancer diagnostics. Her most influential work, the 2021 paper "Clinical Validation of Whole Genome Sequencing for Cancer Diagnostics," has garnered 86 citations and provides pivotal evidence that WGS using fresh-frozen tissue and matched blood samples can serve as the most comprehensive genetic tumor test. This contribution addresses a critical challenge in modern oncology: the increasing need to screen numerous biomarkers from increasingly small biopsy samples. By demonstrating that a single, all-inclusive WGS test can replace multiple targeted assays, Steehouwer’s research streamlines diagnostic workflows and enhances the detection of clinically actionable mutations. Her work is instrumental in moving WGS from research settings into routine clinical practice, promising more personalized and effective cancer care. Through these achievements, Steehouwer has established herself as a key architect of the next generation of cancer diagnostics.
