Opening of Utrecht Science Week: Utrecht Science Lecture by Professor Dr. Peter Luijten
From science to impact: Utrecht Life Sciences
It is hard to imagine a place that encompasses more disciplines vital for top research in life sciences than the Utrecht Science Park. From 'hard core' molecular biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics to translational and clinical sciences. From molecules to micro-organisms, plants, animals and humans. From drug development to medical technology. All these areas of expertise within walking distance. This lecture shows and talks about the unique accomplishments of Utrecht's Life Sciences and highlights the opportunities for social impact in the future.
Peter Luijten is vice dean of the Strategic Theme Life Sciences and Professor of Functional Medical Imaging. Before his farewell at Utrecht University in October, he will give the Utrecht Science Lecture. His lecture will focus on the theme “From science to impact: Utrecht Life Sciences”, including contributions from talented colleagues from various thematic Life Sciences communities, which includes Tzviya Zeev Ben Mordehai, Nico van den Berg, Karijn Suijkerbuijk and Marianna Tryfonidou.
