PhD defences

2024 is a celebratory year for the Neuroinfection Center Amsterdam, with several colleagues defending (or yet to defend) their PhD dissertations!

Feresthe Sheybani defended her research on bacterial meningitis in at-risk populations, Endry Lim on the role of the complement system in COVID-19, Ingeborg van Zeggeren on clinical predictors and biomarkers in central nervous system infections, and Koos van Dam on the immune response following COVID-19 vaccinations.

Congratulations to all on these outstanding achievements!
