7. Fully Funded PhD in translational cardiology
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Heart diseases are a major cause of death, disability, and societal costs world-wide. Our current interventional treatments for heart failure and heart valve disease do not improve the symptoms in many patients, suggesting that we do not possess a satisfactory understanding of the disease mechanisms. This project intends to progress patient care, by expanding mechanistic insights and develop a tool to aid clinical decision-making for patients with heart valve disease and/or heart failure. This is done by in-vivo and ex-vivo experiments in large animal models and patient investigations.

12. Fully Funded PhD in Barrier Immunology
Summary of Funded PhD Program
HS is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin that affects approximately 1% of the population. HS lesions occur primarily in apocrine gland bearing skin such as the ano/genital area and arm pits. It presents as a continuum of inflammatory states ranging from acne-like inflammatory nodules to recurrent abscesses, extensive sinus tracts and deep seated scaring. The etiology of HS remains unclear but involves immune dysregulation that appears to be initiated around hair follicles and an inflammatory infiltrate that includes the recruitment of both innate and adaptive immune cells.

15. Fully Funded PhD in Urban Frontiers
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The world is currently undergoing the largest wave of urban growth in human history. However, no land, that government and developers see as future cities in the Global South, is vacant. There is no empty ‘no-man’s land.’ Individual citizens, social movements, squatters, and urban developers already engage in making their land use look legal. Urban property development in the Global South therefore often starts out in illegality, and only subsequently does it become legal. The project investigates how land is accessed, coded, and controlled in urban peripheries.
