We're exploring the biochemical foundations of life.
Without understanding how things work, we can鈥檛 fix them when they鈥檙e broken. In this day of modern diseases, this is critical. Fundamental science - biology, chemistry, physics, math 鈥 is our toolbox with which we can make smart solutions for medicine, our environment and technology.
All Nobel Prize winners are awarded for their discoveries that fill a gap in our current knowledge. The 鈥榮pill-over鈥 from their findings generate progress and shape our society. We recognize the importance of scientific curiosity and have created the Science for Life domain in Utrecht that serves as a breeding ground for our innovation ecosystem.
The research and discoveries in this domain bring diversity, insight and detail to our understanding of how life and its components work. Focus areas include molecular and cellular biology, pharmaceutical science and plant biology. Using highly advanced technologies, such as NMR spectroscopy, bioinformatics and nanotechnology, we鈥檙e finding solutions for health and environmental challenges.
Science for life: Curiosity driven research鈥淧rior to innovations, crucial discoveries in fundamental science are a necessity.鈥. In this interview Corn茅 Pieterse and , chair and vice-chair of the Science for Life community share their views on the science in science for life. Corn茅 is professor at the biology department of Utrecht 木瓜福利影视, and Saskia is Professor of Molecular and Translational Metabolism at the 木瓜福利影视 Medical Center Utrecht.
