Linda Douw is associate professor of anatomy and neurosciences at Amsterdam UMC. Her Multiscale Network Neuroscience lab applies network theory to study brain organization across scales, from whole-brain connectivity down to individual cells, with the goal of improving outcomes for people with brain tumors and other brain disorders. This cross-disciplinary approach draws on graph theory, physics and clinical neuroscience to connect abstract properties of brain networks to patient symptoms and survival.
After completing her Ph.D. at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Douw was a postdoctoral fellow at VU University Medical Center before moving to the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. Her scientific work is strongly embedded in ideas of interdisciplinarity and translation.
