Five of our recent MSc students have been successful to publish their work with support from their BIOMAC supervisors in an international, peer-reviewed scientific journal. These students are: Tristan Bakx, Julia Heinen, Chris Lucas, Gabriel Muñoz, and Jasper Steenvoorden. Congratulations! This has resulted in the following papers:
