In 2015, the Dr. Ir. J.H.J. van de Laar Foundation for Scientific Biochemical Research made an exceptional donation of €400,000. With this generous contribution, the Van De Laar Fund was established under the umbrella of the Limburg University Fund (see photo).
Over the years, the fund has supported scientific research into the biochemistry of cardiovascular diseases and its applications in translational medicine, carried out by CARIM. Thanks to the fund’s support, leading visiting professors have been appointed, a chair in coagulation biochemistry has been established, and biochemical research and education at UM have received invaluable backing.
Having successfully fulfilled its mission, the fund is now being concluded. A heartfelt thank you to the foundation, all donors, and everyone involved for their generous contributions and trust in the fund.
