De kennis die zij en haar collega-wetenschappers verzamelen, draagt ze actief uit. Dit kan beleidsmakers aan inzichten helpen om het leven van burgers, nu en in de toekomst, te verbeteren.
Amsterdam UMC leads global research to stop Crohn's diseaseCrohn's disease is advancing rapidly in the Western world. The international consortium INTERCEPT, led by Amsterdam UMC, will investigate how this disease can be detected and stopped at an early stage. "If this succeeds, the health benefits for society will be enormous," says Geert D'Haens, professor of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases and head of the department of gastroenterology and liver disease at Amsterdam UMC. To carry out this investigation, the consortium will receive a European grant of 37.5 million euros.
