Research project at DKFZ in Heidelberg

Back in the summer of 2016 I had one of the biggest opportunities of my life: I started a research project at the renowned DKFZ (German Cancer Research Center) in Heidelberg. The application procedure was tough but I received a travel grant to make this all possible. I spent the summer in Heidelberg with nine other international students that were selected for this program. I had the chance to work on a very challenging project in which I tried to unravel the mechanism of action of a novel natural compound in Glioblastoma cancer stem like cells. Besides my laboratory work I completed several courses to improve my personal skills. It was a wonderful time and I am so happy I took this chance. I even got to introduce the "vrijmibo" in my department. Cheers to that!
