Clinical fellows awarded to 17 medical specialist who will serve as a bridge between clinical practice and scientific research. - Afbeelding
NWO has awarded Veni funding of up to EUR 280,000 to 188 promising researchers from the full breadth of science. This will allow the laureates to further develop their own research ideas over the next three years. - Afbeelding
In the ZonMw Open Competition 2024 round, a total of 29 research teams have been selected to receive funding from a total budget of €24 million. This funding enables the research groups to develop innovative team science initiatives that contribute to the long-term advancement of fundamental (bio)medical science and healthcare. - Infections caused by bacteria resistant to most antibiotics (so-called multidrug resistant bacteria) remain a global problem. The lack of new antibiotics is a major social problem and threat to human and animal health.AimIn this antimicrobial discovery project, researchers focused on developing novel antibiotics for the highly virulent and antibiotic-resistant human pathogens (called the ESKAPE…
- Read how is investigated wastewater treatment plant employees and local residents are more likely to carry antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
- Respiratory tract infections are common and are increasingly caused by bacteria that are no longer sensitive to commonly used antibiotics.ObjectiveThis project aimed to expand the therapeutic arsenal against respiratory tract infections by testing agents that stimulate the immune system.ResultsThe AMC had 2 specific tasks. First, a culture system of human respiratory epithelial cells was set up…
- Bacteria are increasingly becoming resistant to antibiotics. This is an immediate threat to health care in the Netherlands and elsewhere. Recent studies show that, in Europe alone, more than 30.000 individuals die every year due to an infection with an antibiotic-resistant bacterium.AimThis project studied the pathways by which resistant bacteria can emerge in complex ecosystems, in which they can…
- The rapid spread of multidrug resistant bacteria threatens the treatment of even simple infections in the near future. However, little is known about how bacteria develop resistance on surfaces.AimThe aim of this project was to investigate fundamental mechanisms that shape antimicrobial resistance in biofilms in relation to the surface and then translate those findings into clinical practice…
- Infections with antibiotic resistant bacteria, for example an urinary tract infections, are difficult to treat. Because of this, antibiotic resistance is an important public health threat. In Europe, the ESBL-producing gut bacteria (ESBL-G), are the most important cause of such infections, with around 400.000 cases per year. 5% of the Dutch inhabitants carries ESBL-G, while outside the Netherlands…
- Bacteriophages and plasmids are often specific to a particular source, this project will investigate how CRISPR dynamics are related to environmental niche adaptation and recalibrate source attribution models.
- Read more about the research project on immune responses to against microbiota as biomarkers for ME/CFS.
- The gut microbiome—the community of bacteria and viruses in the intestines—plays a key role in the development of the immune system and in protection against viral infections. At the same time, certain viruses can disrupt both the immune system and the gut microbiome. However, the relationship between viral activity and the gut microbiome, and the role these factors play in ME/CFS, remain poorly…
