Otto C. Boerman (Lochem, 25 May 1959, H-index: 70) studied Chemistry at the University of Nijmegen (1977-1884). From 1985 until 1990, he was a junior investigator at the Department of Cell Biology at the University of Nijmegen, where he wrote his thesis, entitled ‘Development and Application of Monoclonal Antibodies Against Ovarian Carcinoma-Associated Antigens.’

As a fellow of the Dutch Cancer Society he worked at the Center for Molecular Medicine and Immunology in Newark, NJ (1990-1991) on targeting cancer with radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies (Head: Dr. D.M. Goldenberg). He then worked at the Biological Response Modifiers Program of the National Institutes of Health in Frederick, MD (1991-1992) on the in vivo effects of IL-7 (Head: Dr. D. Longo). When he returned to The Netherlands in 1992, he started his preclinical research group at the Department of Nuclear Medicine of the Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Center. In his group preclinical research focused on radionuclide imaging and radionuclide therapy with radiolabeled antibodies and peptides  In 2007 he became a full professor in Radiochemistry at the Radboud University Nijmegen. He was (co-)promoter of 41 PhD candidates. He is a (co-)author of more than 495 peer reviewed scientific publications. In 2017 he was appointed as director of the Facility for research with laboratory animals (CDL) of the Radboud university Medical Center in Nijmegen.
