"Maastricht, Working on Europe" research agenda
Maastricht University has launched the "Maastricht, Working on Europe" research agenda. UM heeds the urgent need to renew and expand UMs research agenda on European integration, the EU and Europe more generally; and to do this through innovative multi-disciplinary research collaborations.
The research agenda is now online as well as the first calls for Postdocs (particularly themes 3 and 4 are of interest for CAPHRI). Dr. Peter Schröder-Back (VHC) is one of the members of the Academic Board implementing the Maastricht, Working on Europe research calls.

Led by our researcher and geneticist Masoud Zamani Esteki, researchers at Maastricht UMC+ and GROW developed a technique that can analyze the entire genome – all genes and chromosomes – in a single test. This allows a faster and better determination of which embryos are suitable for a successful pregnancy. This research project has been published in Nature Communications this week. Watch this video to find out how there's now a bridge between two seemingly different fields, as well as a new form of PGT has been coined thanks to this research. Visit Zamani Lab for more information.
