NBS and FEBS Travel Grants for Internships

NBS Travel Grants for Internships

Travel grants for master students to perform research internships abroad (the applicant must be a member of the NVBMB):

  • The Nora Baart Stichting (NBS) offers travel grants for master students in the medically oriented molecular life sciences who wish to do their second research internship abroad. Master students in the medically oriented molecular life sciences, who plan to perform their second internship abroad, may apply for financial support to cover travel expenses and extra costs of living to a total amount of maximally € 2000 (intercontinental) or € 1500 (Europe). 
    More information on how to apply can be found here.
  • The Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS) also offers summer travel grants for students wishing to gain research experience in a lab in another FEBS member state.
    For more information see here.

NBS Grant Recipients

Grants for international internships

The NVBMB and Nora Baart Stichting (NBS) have awarded travel grants for an internship abroad to the following students:

Ezra small  Laura small

Ezra Bekkering (Master Molecular Mechanisms of Disease, Radboud University) will perform an internship in the lab of Trevor Sweeney, The Pirbright Institute, Woking, United Kingdom. The aim of the study is to unravel the protein‐RNA interactions in NS5‐mediated translation regulation in flaviviruses.

Laura Akkerman (Master Molecular Mechanisms of Disease, Radboud University) will visit the lab of Marcel Muller, in the Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Germany. She will study the molecular mechanisms underlying  putative virus tolerances in bats​.

Previous recent recipients of travel grants:

Anne Flier Luuk Broeils Tomas Post

Anne Flier (Master Biomedical Sciences: Infection and Immunity, Utrecht University) will visit the lab of Stephanie Dougan, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Teaching Hospital of Harvard Medical School, Boston. She will investigate how the immune system fails to restrain Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) metastasis.

Luuk Broeils (Master Cancer, Stem cells and Developmental Biology, Utrecht University) will perform an internship in the lab of Martin Enge, Karolinska Intitutet, Solna, Sweden. He will explore the gene regulatory effect of enhancers showing aberrant activity in late-stage pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

Tomas Post (Master Medical Biology, specialisation Human Biology – Radboud University Nijmegen) will visit the lab of  Mandy van Leent, Nanomedicine Laboratory – Department of Radiology BioMedical Engineering and Imaging Institute, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, NY. He will evaluate the use and effectivity of nanoimmunotherapeutics in SARS-CoV2 infected primates and mice.

Other recent travel grant recipients:

Fenna Craenmehr    Joanne van keulen

Fenna Craenmehr (master Biomedical Engineering, TU/e) will visit the University of Zurich, Switzerland, to work on the synthesis of 14-3-3 proteins in the lab of Prof. Nina Hartrampf. Joanne van Keulen (master Infection and Immunity, UU) will visit the Université de Lausanne, Switzerland, to work in the lab of Prof. Veening to elucidate which genes and environmental factors are important in the regulation of competence in S. pneumoniae.

Picture%20Anneloes%20Keijzer.jpeg

Anneloes Keijzer, Master Cancer, Stem Cells & Developmental Biology, Utrecht University will visit the lab of Dirk Hockemeyer, Li Ka Shing Center, University of California, Berkeley. The goal of her research project is to elucidate the molecular principles of telomere length control and telomerase-related diseases.

Pasfoto_IreneZaalberg.jpgCarli Koster.jpgBjörn van Sambeek.jpgFrederique van den Haak.pngKlasina Chappins.jpgMara Nicolasen.jpeg

Irene Zaalberg, Master Cancer, Stem Cells & Developmental Biology, Utrecht University, is going to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, in Boston. There she will investigate the role of glycosylation in pancreatic cancer cells resistant to inhibition of the enzyme dihydrootate dehydrogenase.

Carli Koster, Leiden University, Life Sci & Technol, will rotate in the lab of David Sabatini, Whitehead Institute, MIT, Cambridge. Her studies are aimed at understanding how colorectal cancers and precursor adenomas reprogram their metabolism to scavenge nutrients through the lysosome.

Björn van Sambeek, Radboud University Nijmegen, Biomed Sci, will visit George Church, Harvard Medical School, Boston to determine How do transcription factor (TF)-differentiated microglia-like cells from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPS) interact with cerebral organoids.

Frederique van den Haak, Utrecht University, Infection & Immunity, will rotate in the lab of Hidde Ploegh, Boston Children’s Hospital, Boston, to study Novel Neutralizing Nanobodies Against the Ebola Virus.

Klasina Chappins, Utrecht University, Infection & Immunity, will perform an internship with Mark Hogarth, Burnet Institute, Melbourne to investigate the development and characterization of therapeutic antibodies.

Mara Nicolasen, Radboud University Nijmegen, Biomed Sci, will visit Ilaria Malanchi, Francis Crick Institute, London to study cross-talk between breast cancer cells and normal stromal cells of the bone.

PfirrmannPrinsCopier.jpeg

Maren Pfirrmann, master molecular mechanisms of disease, Radboud University, will visit the Telethon Kids Institute in Nedlands, Australia, to work on immunotherapy in the context of a surgical procedure for cancer.

Nienke Prins, master life science & technology, University of Leiden, will perform her internship at the University of Technology in Sydney, Australia, to find new molecular targets to inhibit the filamentation of pathogenic bacteria.

Jaël Copier, master biology of disease, University of Utrecht, will visit the Imperial College London to unravel the role of calcium in arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, using scanning ion-conductance-microscopy.
