Great achievement! We congratulate Patricia Bruijning with her appointment as professor of vaccination and infection control epidemiology. This position will enable her to continue her work in designing and evaluating optimal infection prevention policies edu.nl/aw3hg
At UMC Utrecht we have a position for a PhD-candidate to investigate patient and public involvement and engagement in #RSV research. You will study epistemic practices in research on acute childhood #infections. More info here: edu.nl/kua7e
Lymphocyte dynamics research by Elena de Dios Panal from Center for Translational Immunology shows that discrepancies between human and mouse immune dynamics highlight some fundamental differences between mouse and human immune cell maintenance edu.nl/mjxgj
Last week, Marianne Messelink from UMC Utrecht successfully defended her PhD research on the development, validation and evaluation of clinical decision support systems for better diagnosis/treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and primary antibody deficiency edu.nl/6n9jg

Last week, Marjolein Stip from Center for Translational Immunology defended her PhD thesis. She showed that IgA-based #antibodies are not associated with neuropathic #pain. It may therefore be a viable alternative for IgG-based antibody therapy in high-risk #neuroblastoma edu.nl/9g7uh
Today the farewell symposium of prof Rob Willems who contributed enormously to our understanding of the evolution of antibiotic resistance, first RIVM and then Infection & Immunity UMC Utrecht. 1st guest speaker Willem van Schaik @[email protected]
