Of course, the end of something is the start of something else. Therefore, we are happy that Diederik Kuster will be the new chair of the Young@Heart board in 2020. Diederik is an assistant professor at the department of Physiology of Amsterdam UMC.
Additionally, Anthal Smits has resigned as board member, but he will continue to be involved in Young@Heart as a scientific council member. With two open positions in the board to fill, we are also pleased to announce that Monika Gladka-de Vries (Hubrecht Institute) and Martijn Hoes (UMCG) will join the board.
We are looking forward to an eventful and inspiring new year with you all!
