Our research for the healthcare of tomorrow

To improve people’s health and create the healthcare of tomorrow, our research staff work together with our partners and patients on multidisciplinary studies. Our point of departure is of course the patients’ demands.

Unique research

With our research we strive for the highest possible quality and impact. It now appears possible for example to vaccinate babies, pregnant women and older people against the dangerous RS virus.

Valorization

We translate scientific knowledge into impactful solutions for patients and for society. With a subsidy from Health-Holland we are for instance supporting five AI labs.

Open science

We want to make our research results accessible to everyone wherever we can. In 2023 we published 84% of our scientific publications in Open Access.

Highlighted figures

Diversity and inclusiveness

Keeping the diversity of the patient population in mind is a prerequisite for good research. Our Gender Equality Plan furthers research that is inclusive and diverse.

Sustainable research

In our research we pay attention to sustainability. In terms of the topics on our research agenda, but also in the sustainability of our research itself.

Collaborating with patients in research

As in our healthcare and education, we also want to cooperate with patients in our research. We support our researchers in this regard.

Quality of research

We strive towards socially robust scientific research based on the best and most suitable methods, in line with laws and regulations.
