The New Scientist Science Talent Prize, in its 7th edition, seeks to recognize and honor the brightest scientific minds within the Netherlands and Flanders. Each knowledge institute in the Netherlands and Belgium (higher education institutions, universities) is allowed to nominate one scientific talent. The jury chose a top 3 from the five candidates who received the most votes. The jury was unanimous in selecting one of our A&RD researchers as the winner: Bernadette de Bakker!
With a focus on unraveling the intricacies of our earliest stages of life, dr. de Bakker and team have embarked on a transformative journey of discovery. Through the invaluable contributions of numerous compassionate parents who have graciously donated the gift of their departed embryos and fetuses to science, via the Dutch Fetal Biobank, new frontiers of knowledge are being charted. This unprecedented initiative has led to a deeper understanding of embryonic development, fetal anatomy and high-resolution imaging. The team’s pioneering work has even shed light on the etiology of birth defects, paving the way for potential breakthroughs in prenatal care and maternal-fetal health.
Apart from winning 2500,- euro for her research and the eternal fame associated with this prize, Dr. de Bakker has also been invited to present her research at the 11th edition of the illustrious Gala of Science in Amsterdam, organized by the New Scientist.
Once again, Amsterdam Reproduction & Development would like to extend their congratulations to Bernadette de Bakker and team on winning The New Scientist Science Talent Prize!
