This year’s topic aims to inspire you to venture outside your comfort zone in pursuit of new insights within your research field. By balancing Methodological rigor with creative imagination, you are encouraged to make all of us believe in science by opening new pathways to better treatment. This year we have two keynote speakers: Professor Charles A. Dinarello from University of Colorado, USA and Radboud University in the Netherlands and Professor Joseph S. Alpert from University of Arizona, USA. Charles A. Dinarello will give you an outstanding perspective on how groundbreaking scientific discoveries can be put into valuable therapeutic use. He is considered one of the founding fathers of cytokines and has -received numerous awards and prizes for his contribution to the field of cytokines and medicine. He is regarded as one of the most influential biomedical researchers of our time and has been granted honorary degrees from various Universities around the world. Joseph S. Alpert is a Danish-American cardiologist and editor-in-chief of the American Journal of Medicine. He is an honorary member of scientific societies in Denmark, Israel and Argentina and has received many awards for excellence in teaching. Prepare for a thrilling lecture on the importance of science in todays society. By the end of the day we hope that our firm belief in science have been passionately revitalized by the new original ideas and perspectives presented. Finally, a warm thank you to everybody who has participated and helped to make the PhD day 2018 a – hopefully – joyful and inspiring event.

Dinarello, Professor of Medicine and Immunology Charles A. Dinarello is Professor of Medicine and Immunology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and Professor of Experimental Medicine at Radboud University in the Netherlands. He received his medical degree from Yale University, clinical training at the Massachusetts General Hospital and from 1971-77, he was at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda. Dr. Dinarello is considered one of the founding fathers of cytokines. He was the first to purify interleukin-1 (IL-1) in 1977 and identified IL-1 in 1974. His group reported the first cDNA for IL-1 in 1984. He has published over 700 original research articles and 250 reviews and book chapters on inflammatory cytokines, particularly on IL-1, the IL-1 family and related cytokines. He has trained over 50 investigators, many of whom are recognized experts in their fields. The Institute for Scientific Information listed Dinarello as the world's 4th most-cited scientist during the 20 years 1983-2002 and from 1996 to 2011, he was listed as one of 400 of the world’s most influential biomedical researchers. In 1998, Dinarello was elected to the United States National Academy of Sciences and in 2010, he was made a foreign member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences.
