NWO Vici grant

Anouk Rijs received a Vici grant of 1.5 million euros from the Dutch Research Council (NWO). With this grant she aims to unravel and ultimately control the peptide aggregation mechanism with a novel experimental 4-dimensional methodology that will probe structure and kinetics in one single experiment.

Anouk Rijs is associate professor at HFML-FELIX. She combines the FELIX infrared and terahertz spectroscopy with advanced mass spectrometry to elucidate protein folding and aggregation interactions with unprecedented structural detail.
