Congratulations to the CRIG researchers that obtained a 2021 PhD fellowship at FWO
FWO Vlaanderen published the results of the PhD fellowships fundamental research and strategic basic research 2021 (link to the FWO web page).
Several CRIG researchers have obtained a fellowship to start their promising (cancer) research projects!
Obtained a fundamental research fellowship:
- Muhammad Rishfi (team Prof. Frank Speleman)
- Joke Deschildre (team Prof. Vanessa Vermeirssen)
- Eufra Van Damme (team Prof. Katleen De Preter)
Obtained a strategic basic research fellowship (SBO):
- Evelien Peeters (team of Prof. Steven Goossens)
- Elias Van De Vijver (teams Prof. Hans Van Vlierberghe & Prof. Marleen Van Troys)
For several FWO candidates, CRIG organized test defences with experts in cancer research as jury (including members of the CRIG steering committee and other voluntary principal investigators and postdocs). This pilot project was launched in 2020 and since it is evaluated positively by the candidates and the jury, CRIG will repeat (and expand) this initiative and plans to organize test defences for the next FWO calls as well.
Congratulations to all awarded CRIG researchers, and we wish them good luck with their promising research projects!
