Jasper de Wolf receives the Fanny Hesse Award 2025 from the KNVM

April 8, 2025

Every year, the Dutch Society of Microbiology (KNVM) awards three prizes for the best applied sciences bachelor’s theses in the field of microbiology. Amongst this year’s recipients is Jasper de Wolf. Jasper receives the prize for his thesis describing the transcriptional regulation of small non-coding vault RNAs in viral infection. Jasper conducted this research during his internship in the group of Annemarthe van der Veen, where he is now working as a research technician. The prize was awarded during the KNVM/NVMM Scientific Spring Meeting.

Groups: Van der Veen Lab / Nucleic acid immunity

Groups

Arens Lab / T cell regulation

We study the molecular and cellular regulation of T-cell responses and aim to use this knowledge to inform and improve immunotherapy
Borst & Xiao & Salerno Lab / Tumor biology and immunology

Our research aims to delineate cellular and molecular processes that govern adaptive immunity
Eikmans Lab / Reproductive Immunology

We aim to understand how the pregnant woman immunologically tolerates her baby, and what mechanisms account for pregnancy complications
Ossendorp & van der Maaden Lab / Tumor Immunology

Immunotherapy of cancer: immunological mechanisms and specific therapeutic strategies
Roelen Lab / Transplant Immunology

Our research focuses on the prevention, detection and treatment of HLA sensitization in transplant recipients
Smits Lab / Infection and Lung Immunology

Impact of commensals and pathogens on inflammatory events in the lung
Staal Lab / Molecular Stem Cell biology and lymphoid development

Basic Science meets Gene Therapy

From immunopathology to immunotherapy
Van der Veen Lab / Nucleic acid immunity

Nucleic acid sensing in viral infection and sterile inflammation
Van Dongen Lab / Immune monitoring

Monitoring of immune cell populations during health, disease and (targeted) treatment
Van Unen Lab / Mucosal Immunology

We study the development and function of the mucosal immune system in health and disease
Verdoes Lab / Chemical Immunology

The development of chemical tools to understand and to manipulate the immune system
