ZonMw Grant for a study into blood-based biomarker profiles to predict delayed ischemia after brain hemorrhageDagmar Verbaan, Professor of Evidence-Based Neurosurgery at Amsterdam UMC and Program Leader of the Neurovascular Disorders Program at Amsterdam Neuroscience, has been awarded a ZonMw Open Competition Grant. Together with colleagues she received nearly one million euros for their LIQUID-DCI project, which aims to investigate blood-based biomarkers to predict delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) in patients with brain hemorrhage.
Funding for two research projects on sensory overloadThe Dutch Brain Foundation is investing almost three million euros in two new research projects at Amsterdam UMC on sensory overload. Amsterdam Neuroscience researchers Brigit de Jong and Hilgo Bruining formed consortia from Amsterdam UMC and partners. Together, they will investigate exactly what sensory overload is, how it can be measured, and how care for people with these symptoms can be improved.
Meet the newly appointed Principal Investigators of Amsterdam NeuroscienceIn Dutch academia, Principal Investigators (PIs) are expected to take on leadership roles, establish independent research lines, and build their visibility. Our PIs demonstrate scientific vision, build strong research teams, and mentor the next generation of talented researchers. They secure funding to drive discoveries and advance new treatments in the field of neuroscience. Amsterdam Neuroscience proudly congratulates the newly appointed PIs of 2026.
