Winner of the Golden Spatula 2009
Fabian Grimm
This year's first prize went to Fabian Grimm (Saxion University of Applied Sciences, Enschede) for his thesis on his research entitled “The antineoplastic efficacy of dihydroartemisinin (DHA) in combination with ionizing radiation under normoxic and hypoxic conditions in vitro.”
From the jury report:
(…) "Fabian has written a very clear report. In addition, he has described the materials and methods in such a way that his experiments can easily be replicated on this basis. He has also demonstrated an excellent understanding of the problem and presented his results in a very clear manner. Above all, he conducts a clear discussion in which he compares his research with the literature. Fabian also draws excellent conclusions and makes very valuable recommendations for further research."
The two other prizes went to the research projects of:
Rowan Nieuwenhuizen (Leiden University of Applied Sciences):
“Synthetic approaches to cyclobutanone antibiotics”
René Wardenaar (Hanze University of Applied Sciences, Groningen):
“Finding differentially methylated genes between Gr(+) cells and Ter119(+) cells”
