At the yearly CARIM symposium, Gerry presents the PRAETORIAN doctoral network to the CARIM society, introducing the partners involved, as well as all the doctoral candidates, who were all invited to the scientific and more festive events during this annual event.

In the week from 25-11-2024 till 29-11-2024 we hosted the 10 PRAETORIAN doctoral candidates in Maastricht, for a week filled with many exciting lectures and workshops in the Immunology field, as well as with translational skills from the industrial sector. We combined science with fun and were happy to see all students participated enthusiastically!

Today Angelina has defended her thesis named: “Targeted Treatment of Vascular Calcification”

Angelina did very well, was calm as ever and showed she mastered the topic very well, congratulations!!

In an unuasual fast way was Gwen’s first paper, a review on the toxicity of extracellular histones accepted in Current Opinion in Hematology,

congratulations Gwen!!

After a lot of work, being done by our collaborators Berke and Kees at the Amsterdam UMC and in particular Hessel from our side, the manuscript on IRAK-M, and how it interacts with other proteins has been accepted for publication.

Nice way to start the new year! Congrats to all and thanks to our longstanding collaborators from Amsterdam for involving us in this very interesting work.

Today Gerry presents data from our group at the Institute of Molecular Biomedicine in Bratislava. Many fellow researchers were present to make this a lively presentation, showing many shared interests between our research groups.

Today we have the pleasure to receive two intern students from Thailand. Thanatchaya and Varissara welcome to the Netherlands and to our lab! We hope you will have a good and productive time here learning about science but also about all the nice things our university and city, country, has to offer.

Today we heard that the manuscript describing the design of APC variants that can cleave histones in a better and more safe way was accepted in JTH. This was a long and tedious project, as reflected by the many authors who made a contribution, but finally Joram managed to get it published. Congrats to all!

Today on the 24th of June 2023 Johana has given birth to beautiful Emilie. Welcome to the world Emilie!

We wish Johana and Pavel lots of joy and luck with their daughter and toast on a long a happy life for her!

At the IDP Community F2F/hybrid meeting held on 3 and 4 July in Bratislava (SK) Kanin had a very succesfull presentation explaining how an intrinsically disordered protein like histones can be targeted. Response form the audience was very good and it means our lab is now a member of the IDP/Elixir community with Kanin as MC member.
