Research on how proteins (mis)fold
Congratulations Bertrand, Marcel, Floor, Magda, Tamara, Ann, Peter and Ineke for their publication in JMB on co-translational folding of the first CFTR domains: Kleizen B, van Willigen M, Mijnders M, Peters FM, Grudniewska MK, Hillenaar TM, Thomas AS, Kooijman L, Peters KW, Frizzell R, van der Sluijs P, Braakman I. Co-translational folding of the first … Read more
Ineke Braakman receives €50,000 from the Dutch Cystic Fibrosis Patient organization (NCFS) to research the effect of intragenic modifiers on CFTR biosynthesis. Although CF is caused by a defect in only a single gene, CF patients with the same mutation in CFTR show significant variation in disease progression and response to therapy, such as the … Read more
Congratulations Bertrand on your new job! Bertrand will be leaving CPC after many wonderful years and continue his career in a different direction at our university. He will start a new job as educational manager of the new international bachelor Molecular & Biophysical Life Sciences (MBLS) which will start in September 2021. We wish Bertrand … Read more
Ineke Braakman recently turned 60. As a special treat she received the announcement for a (virtual) birthday meeting on 28th of January. Stefan organized a minisympoisum throught Zoom, with short talks and lots of discussion. Over a 100 people attended, lots of nice words were spoken about Ineke, and of course lots of science was … Read more
A warm welcome to our new colleague Senna Hiensch. Senna recently graduated from the HBO and has started in our lab as a technician. He will be working on several different projects, such as investigating mode-of-action of compounds on CFTR and pilot studies for other misfolding related diseases.
