Biography

Biography

Dr. Sabine Linn is a professor of translational oncology focusing on breast cancer at Utrecht University, The Netherlands. Linn received her medical degree (1991, cum laude) at the State University Leiden, The Netherlands, and her internal medicine board certification (2000) at the University Medical Center Utrecht, The Netherlands. She earned her PhD (1998) on the subject of multidrug resistance in solid tumors from the Free University of Amsterdam under supervision of prof. Dr H.M. Pinedo.
She was awarded a Dutch Cancer Society Research Fellowship in 2000 and developed two conditional knock-out mouse models, one for non-small cell lung cancer and one for small cell lung cancer, respectively, in close collaboration with Dr Ralph Meuwissen in the laboratory of prof. Dr A.J. Berns at the Netherlands Cancer Institute, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. From 2001 to 2002 she was a postdoctoral research fellow in the laboratories of prof. Dr P.O. Brown, and prof. Dr M. van de Rijn, at Stanford University Medical School, Stanford, CA, where she contributed to the development of a molecular classification for soft tissue sarcomas. She returned to the Netherlands Cancer Institute in Amsterdam, where she earned her medical oncology certification (2002-2005) and became a senior staff member of the Division of Medical Oncology (2003).
Since 2005 she has also been a group leader at the Division of Molecular Pathology at the Netherlands Cancer Institute where she and her research group focus on the molecular dissection of breast cancer by differential drug sensitivity. To further develop this research line Dr. Linn was awarded a Dutch Cancer Society Clinical Research Award in 2006. From 2008-2012, Dr Linn served as chair of the Working Group on (neo)adjuvant systemic therapy of the Dutch Breast Cancer Trialists' Group (BOOG).
