Students - Research traineeships

Within our Department of Parasitology, there are many possibilities for students to do a  research traineeship in the laboratory (study: Medicine, Biological Sciences, (Medical) Biology, HBO) or in the tropics (study: Medicine, Biological Sciences, (Medical) Biology, and Veterinary Sciences). Both research traineeships in the laboratory and research traineeships in the tropics are available.

More information of our traineeships focused on:

• Immunological basis of host-parasite interactions: co-infections and its relationship with modern inflammatory diseases. 
• Parasite- (and  host-) glycoconjugates: their identification, their potential as drug targets or vaccine candidates, and their role in host-parasite interactions, with special emphasis on schistosomiasis.
• Malaria research: development of vaccines, identification of new drug targets and vaccine candidates and the analysis of molecular mechanisms of host-parasite interactions that are associated with disease
• Development and application of novel diagnostic approaches for (mostly intestinal) protozoa and helminths with the aim to understand clinical presentation and transmission patterns in endemic setting
