Paula Ruiz Duran

PhD student

Hi! I’m Paula, a shared PhD student in the research groups of Jarno Drost (Princess Máxima Center) and Elzo de Wit (Netherlands Cancer Institute) since March 2025. My research focuses on the epigenetic transformations driving Malignant Rhabdoid Tumors. Working alongside a computational PhD student, we will use patient-derived organoids, state-of-the-art protein degradation tools, and advanced epigenetic analysis to explore novel therapeutic strategies targeting epigenetic reprogramming.

​

Outside the lab, I enjoy staying active, whether it’s hiking, dancing, or spending time with friends and family. I love game nights, dining out, and traveling. Recently, I’ve also taken up crocheting as a new hobby!
