ACS Research Program Leaders
Each Research Program is managed by two or three Program Leaders. These Program Leaders represent the clinical and preclinical research at both locations of Amsterdam UMC. They aim to further enhance synergy and stimulate collaborations among the basic and clinical researchers within their Research Program as well as interactions with other ACS Research Programs. The Program Leaders are also part of the ACS Scientific Research Board (see below).
