It allows you to truly shape your own career," - Jeroen den Dunnen, associate professor and winner of the 2015 Amsterdam UMC fellowship.

“Working as a researcher in an academic hospital motivates me even more to develop techniques that we can directly apply to patient studies. This often leads to interesting cross-fertilization for new research. Due to the close connections, this is precisely possible within an academic hospital.“
