I’m happy to announce that Vincent Leeuwenburgh will join my group in 2017. Vincent applied in May 2017 for one of the Young Academy Interdisciplinary PhD positions and was selected based on an excellent research proposal written by him. I will jointly supervise this project with Marthe Walvoort (assistant professor at the Faculty of Science and Engineering) and Hilde Jalving (medical oncologist / PhD at the Department of Medical Oncology, UMCG). Within his PhD project we will apply combined methods (bioinformatics, chemistry) enabling us to better understand and monitor altered cancer cell metabolism.
