Research on how proteins (mis)fold
We had a great labday, with fantastic weather and lots of fun activities! The morning started with a scavenger hunt through Utrecht and in the afternoon the groups had to defend their honor Robinson-Crusoe-style. Topped of with a nice Indian dinner. Thank you Senna, Tamara and Françoise for the organization!
We have three new bachelor students who are going to write their thesis at CPC. Damian is guided by Peter and Lucas is guided by Simone, they are both working on CFTR. Annemiek is guided by Francoise, she is working on Huntington disease. Welcome everyone and good luck!
Congratulations to the new doctor! Dr. Koopman! On April 20th Margreet Koopman defended her thesis entitled “Molecular chaperones in neurodegeneration” in the Akademiegebouw of University of Utrecht.
We have two new bachelor students who are going to write their thesis at CPC. Pleun is guided by Françoise and Emile is guided by Júlia.
Welcome to our new colleague Eduardo! Eduardo will work on understanding the role of the regulatory insertion in folding and function of CFTR as well as the possible use of nanobodies as therapies for stabilization of mutant CFTR. Much success!
