'Our' Jeroen is Teacher Talent of the Year 2026 |
| Some words from the jury: "Jeroen Ooge, assistant professor Information and Computing Sciences, is an infectiously enthusiastic lecturer who has already left an unmistakable mark on the curriculum in just two years. He has revised several courses and introduced new components, each time with one goal in mind: to get students to genuinely think. He is engaged with education around the clock, conducts research into his own teaching, and brings years of experience with him. Demanding and well-loved: a rare combination." |

Millions awarded for a new generation of IgA-based medicines
|
| A new generation of medicines has moved one step closer to reality. The PHARMIGA consortium has been awarded nearly 5 million through the Dutch PharmaNL programme, with partners contributing another 5 million. The investment will help build a national research network focused on developing medicines based on IgA antibodies. This is a naturally occurring part of our immune system that could transform treatment for a range of diseases. |
