Last November, Rory Koenen delivered his inaugural lecture following his appointment as a professor in 2023 at the research institute CARIM. The chair he holds is "Biochemistry of Vascular Inflammation and Thrombosis," and Rory's research can be best described as the quest to understand the role of inflammatory processes in the development of thrombosis. He does not limit himself to the well-known arterial and venous thrombosis, but also examines micro thrombosis, as Koenen believes that small clots are much more inflammation-related than large blood clots. Therefore, his inaugural speech was titled: "Inflammation and thrombosis, reunited at last!"

Does she ever indulge in pizza? “Absolutely! And crisps, too”, laughs Anne Roefs, professor of Psychology and Neuroscience of Abnormal Eating and head of the Eat Lab research group at Maastricht University. Equally, Leo Pimpini, a native of Venice who completed his PhD under Roefs’s supervision, is not averse to a good tiramisu or lasagne.

At the CARIM research institute (school for cardiovascular diseases) in Maastricht, a group of researchers – led by Joost Lumens - is working with ‘het digitale tweelinghart’ (the digital twin heart): a computer model that simulates the human heart. This research gives rise to a great deal of optimism. Thanks to the possibilities offered by the digital twin heart in the future, treatments can be better targeted to the clinical profile of one specific patient. Also, fewer invasive and (therefore) burdensome treatments for the patient will be needed and there will be a reduction in the number of the laboratory animals required for research.

The bachelor’s programme in Medicine at Maastricht University is undergoing a major overhaul. Not only will its curriculum be brought into line with the latest societal and medical developments, but its teaching method will also change. The students who started the English track of the Bachelor of Medicine last year were the first to be introduced to the new system. The Dutch-language programme will follow later, explains programme coordinator Sylvia Heeneman.
