PhD Defence Fernanda Marques Câmara Sodré

We warmly congratulate Fernanda Sodré on the successful defense of her PhD thesis, 'The role of the post-translational modification citrullination in type 1 diabetes.' Her work sheds new light on the mechanisms of type 1 diabetes and represents an important step forward in our understanding of the disease. This achievement was made possible under the guidance of Chantal Mathieu (promoter), Mijke Buitinga (co-promoter), and Lut Overbergh (co-promoter) with the support and evaluation of the examination committee: Annemieke Verstuyf (chairman), Paul Proost (Rega Institute, KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium), Ben Sprangers (UZ Leuven, Leuven, Belgium), Alessandra Kupper Cardoso (Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), Brussels, Belgium), and Arnaud Zaldumbide (Leids Universitair Medisch Centrum (LUMC), Leiden, The Netherlands). We celebrate this milestone and wish Dr. Sodré every success in the next chapter of her scientific career.
