Written nominations by the thesis promotor and/or co-promotor can be addressed to the NVGCT scientific committee via Dr. Massimiliano Caiazzo (letter and pdf of the thesis).

Het dagblad Trouw heeft in samenwerking met de VSOP een bijlage gepubliceerd waarin de lezer geinformeerd wordt over gen- en celtherapie in Nederland: de stand van zaken, en het belang van samenwerking tussen wetenschap, overheid en samenleving. De bijlage bevat 3 interviews: met onze NVGCT voorzitter Prof. Victor van Beusechem, een patient, en een arts. Gezamenlijk lichten zij toe hoe onderzoekers, artsen en patiënten samen werken aan de toekomst van zorg. Hoe dichtbij zijn we bij echte toepassingen voor patiënten? En wat is ervoor nodig om baanbrekend onderzoek sneller naar de kliniek te brengen?
De volledige bijlage kan hier gelezen worden. De afzonderlijke artikelen zijn te bereiken via onderstaande links:
