Ammodo welcomes Susanne Lens as its new Director of Science. In this role, she will lead the Ammodo Science programme and contribute to the further development of excellent scientific research through the Ammodo Science Awards and the Ammodo Science Fellowship.
Susanne Lens is Professor of Genomic Instability at the Center of Molecular Medicine (CMM) at UMC Utrecht and a Principal Investigator at the Oncode Institute. Her research focuses on causes and effects of chromosomal (in)stability in cancer. Alongside her work for Ammodo Science, she will remain active as a scientist one day a week.
Reflecting on her new role, Lens says: “From my own experience, I know how valuable it is for scientists to receive support that allows them to ask the most fundamental questions about how the world works. Ammodo Science gives scientists that freedom. I very much look forward to making groundbreaking research possible in my new role.”
