With a symposium in the St. Janskerk and a farewell lecture in the aula, vascular surgeon and professor Michael Jacobs bid farewell last Friday. From board chairman Helen Mertens, he received the MUMC+ Award, the highest distinction within the MUMC+, in recognition of all he has meant for Maastricht UMC+ and its patients.
Prof. Kevin Vernooy will become the medical director of the Heart+Vascular Center (HVC) at Maastricht UMC+.
I studied Biochemistry at the Hogere Laboratoriumschool in Sittard, graduated in 1990, and got a job at the lab of Prof. Chris Reutelingsperger in this same year, and more than 25 years later, I’m still there. Couldn’t have a better job.
Current work: Everything with Annexin V and Vitamin K related proteins (since Prof. Leon Schurgers joined our group). I love the old fashioned real Biochemistry work: Purifying proteins, labelling, ELISA’s, FACS.
