ZonMw Off-road subsidy - For Rutger Maas

26 November 2018

The ZonMw Off Road subsidy is meant to give young researchers the opportunity to test their groundbreaking hypothesis and to develop this innovative idea into a proof of concept.

Applications should be characterized by their high-risk profile and unconventional research methods ('high risk, high gain' projects). Specifically, the research should be fundamental (pilot data are not needed), in the field of (bio)medical of health sciences and concerns the development of technologies for a durable health system.

This year ZonMw granted Rutger Maas, theme Renal disorders, an Off Road subsidy for his project: 'The application of induced pluripotent stem cells to predict return of the same kidney disease after transplantation'.
