Gerald Kerner MD, PhD

Gerald S.M.A. Kerner was born on April 4th, 1984 in Curacao, the Netherlands Antilles. Coming from a mixed Latin American and European heritage, he spent his formative years in Curacao. After completing part of his high school at the Radulphus College in Curacao, he moved in 1998 to the Netherlands, where he finished high school. In 2003 he was admitted to the medical school of the Free University in Amsterdam, which he completed in 2009. His interest was always in the oncology field, even if there was a temporary deviation to diabetes during his period as a medical student. In 2010 the groundwork to fulfill that wish was laid with a Ph.D. position at the Department of pulmonary oncology of the UMC Groningen, where he carried out studies as part of the CTMM Air Force Consortium. He is currently working as an Anios geriatric medicine at Stichting Humanitas Rotterdam.
