In case you missed this last night: Congratulations to the amazing #EFIC2023 Prize Winners! europeanpainfederation.eu/news/congratul…

Great #pain Conference with great speakers! Submit your abstract and join!

Our paper is now online #OpenAccess! Great multi year team work to get a better understanding about the mechanisms that promote the switch from acute to #ChronicPain. #mitochondria #redoxdisbalance Center for Translational Immunology UMC Utrecht NWO Nieuws cell.com/cell-reports-m…

Research at Center for Translational Immunology in Cell Reports Medicine has found that mitochondrial/metabolic disturbances in sensory neurons predispose to failing resolution of inflammatory #pain. Nicotinamide riboside supplementation may alleviate persistent inflammatory pain 👉edu.nl/mg474

A nice coverage of our recent publication in Cell Reports Medicine by Grace Wade in New Scientist. newscientist.com/article/240140…

Temporary inflammation can lead to chronic pain, but there are tantalising hints of a potential fix – a study in mice suggests the pain can be eased with a type of vitamin B3. newscientist.com/article/240140…

WORK!!! At Center for Translational Immunology we offer a PhD position to investigate the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and help building a Dutch pediatric ME/CFS cohort. More info here: edu.nl/rcrch (Closes Dec. 14)

Impressively extensive article on #longcovid in Dutch newspaper NRC Wetenschap by Niki Korteweg (European Science Journalist of 2023 🥳), providing an overview of potential causes and treatments. Great insight into collaborative work with Stichting Long COVID Merel Hellemons Hanneke Willemen.

Zo’n 4000 Europeanen doen mee aan een grootschalig onderzoek om de impact van de leefomgeving op de gezondheid in kaart te brengen. Word ook burgerwetenschapper en doe met ons mee! Utrecht University Diergeneeskunde UMC Utrecht Public Engagement uu.nl/bite-of-scienc…

At Center for Translational Immunology we offer a PhD position within the EU-funded Innovative Training Network BonePain3 (bonepain.eu). Are you interested in neuro-immunology and research on mechanisms and treatment of osteoarthritis pain, apply here: edu.nl/t9k4y

We have 2 new PhD student vancancies funded by the EU! You will be part of the BonepainIII consortium (bonepain.eu). Enthousiastic to work on Bonepain in our group and happy to move to the Netherlands: check it out! werkenbijumcutrecht.nl/vacatures/wete… werkenbijumcutrecht.nl/vacatures/wete…

Are you a LAB TECHNICIAN interested in performing in-depth molecular research on a mitochondrial regulator of pain to understand how this mitochondrial protein controls pain and to aid in the design of compounds to treat chronic pain? Then apply here: edu.nl/gpttx

Big thanks to our funders Stichting Long COVID and ZonMw for making this research possible! Hats off to the team: Hung-Jen Chen (Oliver), MD. PhD. NerD., Brent Appelman, Hanneke Willemen Niels Eijkelkamp and so many more. And a special thanks to all involved patients, definitely including Tom Molmans, MD 😀. 11/11

Nice summary by nature providing context for our findings on autoimmunity in #longcovid: nature.com/articles/d4158…

Nice coverage of our preprint by @carissaCWWong @nature that brings more context of the story nature.com/articles/d4158…

Vijf docenten van het UMC Utrecht hebben een #Vidi-beurs ontvangen. Hiermee kunnen ze een eigen innovatieve onderzoekslijn ontwikkelen en een onderzoeksgroep opzetten. Lees hier meer ⤵️. research.umcutrecht.nl/news/vidi-gran…

I am proud to share that I have been awarded a #Vidi grant from NWO Nieuws to continue and deepen my research on #chronic #pain. Looking forward to continue this challenging and important research. UMC Utrecht Center for Translational Immunology uu.nl/en/news/utrech…

At UMC Utrecht we have a #postdoc position in bioinformatics/computational biology to study the innate, adaptive and neuro-immunological response in pediatric post-#COVID_19 patients, to identify diagnostic markers and avenues for therapy. More info here: edu.nl/bwte7
