BioBeyond_NL

In the fall of 2025, a new roadmap program from the NWO was awarded to the NPC. In collaboration with Maastricht University, the BioBeyond.NL Consortium has been awarded 17 million euro from NWO, with more than half allocated to Utrecht, for investments in mass spectrometry, glycoscience and computational facilities in the Bijvoet Centre, UIPS and the IICS. The funding will support the creation of a national infrastructure over the course of 10 years, aiming at advancing the understanding of the structure and function of proteins and sugars in their natural environment. 

The coordinator of BioBeyond.NL is prof. dr. Ron Heeren of Maastricht University. The NPC, including prof. Albert Heck, dr. Kelly Stecker and dr. Pavel Sinitcyn, will collaborate within the Utrecht University with prof. dr. Geert-Jan Boons, dr. Jack Li and prof. dr.  Sanne Abeln from the departments of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Information and Computing Science, Biology and Chemistry.
