Jeroen de Baaij, Renal disorders

Jeroen excels in people management – Although we worked a lot from home the last couple of months, Jeroen was always in close contact with us for some small talk, to discuss about work-life balance or alternative research projects that could be done from home. Jeroen really takes care of the people he supervises. This also motivates us to take care of the whole team!

2. Because she managed to combine private life / moving, having a family and research (which just got more difficult this year). During most of our zoom meetings she is now running away from her children, which is always a good laugh. 
3. Because she always see she positive in ever result (even the really shitty ones)

Frank Hoentjen, Inflammatory diseases
