Karin Van Schie won Sanquin’s in-house seminar award of the academic year 2016-17. The award was presented at the start of the new season on 28 august 2017. Karin’s presentation covered the work of the four years of her PhD project on Biologics at the research group of Theo Rispens. The comments on her presentation were beside “good presentation skills”, “you really master the subject”.

Other Nominees were Sanne van de Bovenkamp, Rianne Opstelten, Nadia Freato and last but not Least Fiamma Salerno, who managed to reach the top-5 for this award each year of her PhD project, four times in a row. She had already received the award before.

The award is given annually to the best talk of the weekly in-house research seminars and is based on scores by the audience. Next to the certificate, the award allows the winner to visit a foreign lab of her/his choice for three full months to implement specific experimental approaches to her/his studies.

Jaap van Buul, who handed over the award, remarked that all the candidates were female, as was the majority of the long list.
