  • Amsterdam UMC gives future generations a seat in Parliament
    Amsterdam UMC gives future generations a seat in Parliament "We must create policy and take action today as if the lives of future generations depend on it. Because they do," says Tessa Roseboom. As the Future Generations Commissioner at Amsterdam UMC, her mission is to make those lives and the interests of future generations audible, visible, and tangible. Today, she symbolically grants them a seat in the House of Representatives’ Committee on Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS) by giving each member a chair and a powerful manifesto.
  • Women with menstrual disorders to receive earlier treatment thanks to major FEMCURE project
    Women with menstrual disorders to receive earlier treatment thanks to major FEMCURE project One in three women experiences menstrual problems due to conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids, or scarring in the uterus. Nevertheless, it often takes 8 to 11 years before they receive a clear diagnosis, and targeted treatments are lacking. The FEMCURE project, led by Professor of Gynaecology Judith Huirne, aims to drastically shorten the time to effective treatment. Researchers will develop self-tests that allow women to assess their symptoms at home. In addition, methods will be devised to help general practitioners and gynaecologists recognize these conditions more quickly. The researchers are also developing targeted therapies, ensuring that each woman receives the treatment most effective for her.
  • Temporary benefit for immune system in early HIV treatment, but dysregulation returns
    Temporary benefit for immune system in early HIV treatment, but dysregulation returns Despite effective HIV medication, the immune system of people with HIV remains disrupted in the long term. Researchers at Amsterdam UMC investigated whether this dysregulation can be prevented by starting HIV medication immediately after infection – i.e. within a few days. They saw that six months after this early treatment, the immune system did indeed work as in people without HIV. But in the longer term, the immune system was disrupted again. This is shown by research by Amsterdam UMC, published in the journal EBioMedicine.
