About Severien Van Keer

With a master in Biomedical Sciences and PhD in Medicine and Health Sciences from the University of Antwerp, Severien is continuing her work as Assistant Professor at the Vaccin & Infectious Disease Institute. Her research focusses on clinical and translational research (e.g., www.ScreenUrSelf.be) to demonstrate the clinical performance and acceptability of HPV DNA testing in first-void urine with host cell methylation marker triage. This research is expanding to screening for other female gynaecological tumors, using self-sampling for cervical cancer screening as a model.
