Researchers at UMC Utrecht and TU Delft have received NWO Funding to develop broad-acting #bacteriophages. Such adapted #phages may overcome bacterial defense barriers, which are important mechanisms in resistance of #bacteria against bacteriophages edu.nl/ma3ve







Last week, Carlyn Kouwenberg from UMC Utrecht defended her PhD thesis at Utrecht University. She showed that pediatric uveitis might be a manifestation of a disease that affects not only affects the eye but also the systemic immune system and microcirculation edu.nl/hq7kk


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


In his PhD thesis, Thomas van der Vaart (Amsterdam UMC and UMC Utrecht) describes features of #Staphylococcus aureus blood stream infections in a multicenter study and showed which patient and disease factors pose an increased risk for #endocarditis edu.nl/epcpr


Research at @Amsterdamumc and UMC Utrecht suggests that some of long COVID symptoms may result from 'rogue' auto-antibodies: study finds that antibodies from patients trigger similar symptoms in mice. Article in Nature: edu.nl/mr9hy Preprint: edu.nl/66cv4

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]


A study -coordinated by UMC Utrecht- in NEJM Evidence shows that a severe infection with the #influenza virus ("flu") temporarily increases the risk of myocardial infacrtion, especially in individuals without a history of hospitalization for heart problems edu.nl/ugt6f



For the first time, researchers from UMC Utrecht, RIVM, Utrecht University and The University of Edinburgh have composed an atlas of the upper airway microbiome in the Dutch population. Their findings were published in the prestigious journal Cell edu.nl/fmeng Graphical abstract 🔽
