Second CCCDay in Maastricht
On 21 June the second CAPHRI - Centre for Health and Society Düsseldorf Collaboration Day (CCCDay) took place in Maastricht. 45 researchers came together to intensify the collaboration on research and education in care and public health.
During the second CCC day, further plans were forged for joint (conceptual) research papers, co-investigation in research projects, exchange of Master’s students for scientific internships and theses, joint literature clubs, joint seminars, (post-academic) courses, and staff exchange (both for education and teaching from PhDs till senior staff). The content-wise part of the meeting was concluded with an informative meeting by Vivian Braeken and Evamaria Gruchattka about the possible funding of research and education in the Netherlands, Germany, and across borders. The collaboration continued during the dinner, the walk through the city center, and during the CAPHRI Research day, which several members of the Centre for Health and Society visited. During the upcoming year the working groups (see below), will work on strengthening the collaboration till the next CCC-Day in Dusseldorf.

The quality of education for healthcare professionals substantially impacts the future of healthcare. The effects of teaching methods, curriculum development or educational research go beyond the classroom into patient care and health services. To uphold the high level of education, the School of Health Professions Education (SHE) offers the international Master of Health Professions Education that trains professionals to design, innovate and research educational practices.

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.
