Yearly spring symposium of Netherlands Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (NVGCT) took place in Lunteren. Tereza Brachtlova presented her results on functional expression of RNA interfering molecules from the genome of oncolytic adenoviruses during replication in human cancer cells. Her project proposal was also selected as one of the three for a pitch competition sponsored by NVGCT in collaboration with ZonMw for a travel grant to visit an international conference. Although the proposal was not chosen as a winner, it was a great experience.
Victor W. van Beusechem was appointed to be the president of the NVGCT – congratulations!
