NWO XS grant awarded to Stijn Mouton

A groundbreaking research project of the NWO open competition – XS has been awarded to Stijn Mouton. Stijn will use the immortal flatworm Schmidtea mediterranea to identify novel genes which are required for the maintenance of protein homeostasis. These genes will then be expressed in yeast to study if they can be used to limit protein aggregation and improve healthy ageing.
