🎉 Today Amsterdam UMC launched a major national campaign for ADORE in collaboration with the ‘VriendenLoterij’, KWF Kankerbestrijding, Hersenstichting and Stichting MS Research. ADORE will be the largest onco-neuro campus in the world, with over 2,000 researchers from Amsterdam UMC - Cancer Center Amsterdam and Amsterdam UMC - Amsterdam Neuroscience joining forces. They have one common goal: effective, personalized treatment, for every patient. By working together, they aim to achieve breakthroughs that will more quickly help people with cancer and brain diseases such as dementia and MS. Geert Kazemier (Oncological Surgeon) and Everard (Jort) Vijverberg (Neurologist) are the General Directors of ADORE, and Maarten Bijlsma (Scientific Director of Cancer Center Amsterdam) and Guus Smit (Chairman of Board of Directors of Amsterdam Neuroscience) are both engaged as Scientific Directors of ADORE. We asked Guus Smit four questions regarding ADORE, which you can find on our website. Amsterdam UMC – MS Centrum Amsterdam, Amsterdam UMC - Alzheimercentrum Amsterdam

🚴♀️ An inspirational bike ride. On Saturday, June 8, a Dutch and Belgian team successfully biked the European Million Dollar Bike Ride, a fundraising event to raise money for research into STXBP1-related disorders. Together they raised more than 12.000 euros. The teams consisted of researchers and clinicians from the Functional Genomics department of VU Amsterdam, Amsterdam UMC Genetica of Amsterdam UMC, Amsterdam Neuroscience, Radboudumc, Universiteit Antwerpen, and Antwerp University Hospital, as well as family members of STXBP1 patients. Each team biked more than eighty kilometers to the mid-point in Dordrecht, halfway between the labs of Amsterdam and Antwerp.
