VICI for Geert Kops
February 2013
NWO has awarded NPC theme leader Geert Kops (UMC Utrecht) a VICI grant for his proposal Protection from chromosomal chaos:
A healthy body needs billions of new body cells every day. These are produced by cell division, in which each new cell receives a correct set of chromosomes. Errors in this process cause chromosomal chaos and cancer. Geert Kops and his colleagues will investigate how such errors are prevented so as to maintain healthy tissues.
