She started myeloma research in 1994; she is leading the hematology research group at the Vrije Universiteit Brussels, focussing mainly at studying the (patho) fysiology of multiple myeloma, with focus on the mechanisms of drug resistance. The current projects study the myeloma "stem" cells, epigenetic regulation, cross talk through vesicles with the bone marrow microenvironment and new immunotherapuetic strategies.
The laboratory also hosts a core facility for the murine 5TMM models.
