Prof. Dr. Kak Khee Yeung, is a Vascular Surgeon, Full professor in Personalized Therapy in Vascular Surgery and the Research Director and Principal Investigator in Vascular Surgery at Amsterdam UMC, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
She is the president elect of the European Society of Vascular Surgery.
She is specialized in complex aortic aneurysm treatment and has developed an international aortic surgery program in Amsterdam UMC.
Her research lines are focused on personalized diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases for which she has set up an international dataplatform and biobank for over 18 years. Her topics include:
1. Aortic aneurysms: the pathophysiology, proteomics, genomics, imaging and updates in treatment (Biobanking, Artificial intelligence)
2. Peripheral arterial diseases: advanced diagnosis and treatment (artificial intelligence, microbubbles and nanomedicine techniques).
She is the consortium lead of VASCUL-AID project, which is funded by Horizon Europe (European Commission; www.vascul-aid.eu). This project focuses on using AI to predict cardiovascular disease progression in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms or peripheral arterial diseases.
For her scientific efforts, she is awarded with the Royal Dutch Early Career Award (KNAW Early Career Award).
