Henri H. Versteeg is a full professor at the Department of Internal Medicine at the Leiden University Medical Center and the retired chair of the division of Thrombosis and Hemostasis. He is also an editor in chief for the journal Thrombosis Research and a regular reviewer for various journals. Dr Versteeg obtained his PhD from the University of Amsterdam and received training as a postdoctoral fellow at the Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, USA and the LUMC, Leiden, Netherlands. His work focuses on the impact of coagulation and coagulation factors on cancer progression, with a specific focus on integrin function and cancer stem cells. Recently, he started investigating the molecular and genetic basis of cancer-associated thrombosis, including tumor cell gene expression and plasma protein profiles that associate with the risk of thrombosis. Causal effects of these genes and proteins on cancer-associated thrombosis are tested in state-of-the-art organ-on-a-chip platforms. Dr versteeg’s work is published in journals such as Nature Medicine, PNAS, Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, Circulation Research and Blood and he has been awarded the NovoNordisk Haemostasis Award and the Parijs award for best translational research, as well as a number of prestigious American and Dutch fellowships. Dr Versteeg is currently funded by the Netherlands Thrombosis Foundation
