Collaborative projects

A defining feature of the RNA Biology Lab (RBL) is our strong reliance on collaboration for biological experiments. We deliberately focus our in-house expertise on omics technologies and bioinformatics, and work closely with partners who bring complementary biological and experimental strengths.

Over the years, we have collaborated with a broad range of groups, including:

• Several UvA research groups within SILS and IBED
• Multiple AMC research groups
• Research teams at the RIVM
• The group of Prof. Dr. Herman Spaink (Leiden University)
• The Top Institute Green Genetics (TTI-GG)
• Naktuinbouw
• The Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ)
• Numerous other academic and industrial partners, including many plant breeding companies

Because of this collaborative model, RBL is not confined to a single model organism. For each research question, we will identify the most suitable experimental setup, including the most appropriate model system.

We are always open to new collaborations. If our research interests resonate with your work and you would like to explore a joint project, please contact t.m.breit [at] uva.nl.

The success of our collaborative approach is reflected in the many collaborative scientific articles we have published together with our partners over the years.
