Jan on his appointment: “It is my privilege to commit myself, together with the staff members at the Radboud university medical center, to finding answers to the big health issues of our time. Our rich tradition that focuses on people, our strong research, our excellent educational programs, and innovative patient care ensures that we are uniquely positioned for this. I view connections as a core theme: connections between core tasks, connections between disciplines, also outside of medicine, connections with society, but above all, connections between people.”
