More and more ‘dry’ scientists are going into the wetlab. Today, Rinke showed students and Bob (on the right) around in our wetlab as part of the Workshop Mathematical Modelling (a third year course for VU and UvA Mathematics students). Will this be a one-time event or do they now never want to leave the wetlab…?

Mark defended his PhD thesis on the modelling of microbial ecosystems on November the 22nd 2016. Ines Thiele, Hans Westerhoff, Gerard Muyzer, Fons Stam and Herwig Bachmann were in the thesis committee. Thanks to them for their efforts and congrats to Mark!
Bas moved to a new house with a view over the Rhine and gave a housewarming party for the group. “Good food, good wine, good company and a great venue” summarizes the party, according to Brett.
Jurgen is the senior author on a new book chapter that describes how mathematical modelling can help understand metabolism in parasites and guide drug target identification. The chapter focusses on recent advances for Trypanosoma brucei and Plasmodium Falciparum The chapter is part of a book on “Comprehensive Analysis of Parasite Biology: From Metabolism to Drug Discovery: From
In July, Eva Mooij and Mariah Kes joint our lab to do a short research programme for their honours programme. They worked together with Marijke and Jurgen on glycogen, ammonium and urea measurements in liver cancer cell cultures. They did a great job and it was good to have them in our lab (and thanks
