Judith Paridaen, principal investigator at ERIBA, was awarded a VIDI grant (€ 800.000) by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) as part of their Innovational Research Incentives Scheme. The Vidi grant aims at supporting scientists who have carried out successful research for a

On Monday March 27 at 4.15 pm David Porubsky defended his PhD thesis entitled “Haplotype resolved genomes” in the Academiegebouw of our University. David started his PhD work in ERIBA in September 2012. He has been supervised by Peter Lansdorp and Victor Guryev. His thesis explores the p

Scientists of the European Research Institute for the Biology of Ageing discovered that neurodegenerative disease-associated proteins hijack normal cellular proteins to promote their own aggregation and toxicity. The research by Olga Sin and others resulted from the collaboration between the researc

In a recent study, scientists from the European Research Institute for the Biology of Ageing provide a novel perspective on the biological processes in childhood leukemia. On April 10, the research article “Clonal selection and asymmetric distribution of human leukemia in murine xenografts reveale

On March 22nd, Clémence Claussin successfully defended her thesis, which is entitled “Homologous recombination: a Swiss Army knife for protecting genome integrity.” The genetic information required for life is stored within molecules of DNA. The complete set of DNA present in a cell is referred
