Inge Oudaert (°1993, https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0639-9203) obtained a MSc in Biomedical Sciences in 2019 at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. She started her PhD studies at the Hematology and Immunology lab in 2019, and investigates how metabolic changes contribute to drug resistance in multiple myeloma. More specifically, Inge has focused on proline and lactate metabolism in myeloma, and found that inhibition of these pathways could block further cancer cell proliferation and induce cell death. To stimulate her research, she has received travel grants from Belgian Hematology Society, Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek Vlaanderen and American Society of Hematology.
