Welcome and New Year drinks with Chinese PhD Candidates

Created on:


January 12, 2023

In the afternoon of the 11th of January, a large group of Chinese PhD candidates and some of their supervisors came together with our dean Prof Pancras Hogendoorn, LUMC Global, the Graduate School and LAP in the HePatho Bar to celebrate the western new year and formally meet each other. We also looked forward to the celebration of the Chinese new year, the year of the rabbit!

It was truly heartwarming to see this group of ambitious young researchers together, who are spread over many different departments and research groups within the LUMC. We exchanged experiences and answered questions, but most of all, we had a blast connecting socially! We are looking forward to follow the exciting academic journey of our new arrivals.

Indonesian Fathimah Sigit obtains her PhD for international research on obesity and metabolic syndrome

May 2, 2022

Global epidemics come in many forms and attract different kinds of attention depending on the severity of the diseases. But as Fathimah’s research demonstrates, there’s a risk that comes with giving too little attention to epidemics that don’t have immediate life altering/threatening effects. It’s for this exact reason that obesity is often overlooked in terms of severity. In the short term, obesity isn’t life threatening perse, but over time, the complications of obesity become progressively more dangerous and ultimately life threatening. With around 40 percent of the global population being overweight and 13 percent suffering from obesity, Fathimah’s recent PhD research on the topic might prove invaluable in the future.
