A day of inspiration and collaboration with LUMC students 🚀 Yesterday, we welcomed 55 talented students from Leiden University Medical Center to spend the day with us. We kicked off the day with insightful talks from our NLC speakers, Ankita Das, Kawita Kanhai, MD PhD and Luca ten Elshof, who shared their knowledge and expertise with the students. It was a great opportunity for them to delve into the world of science and business. -One of the highlights was the business case challenge. The students showcased their innovative thinking and problem-solving skills by working on a business case and presenting their solutions.  -We also hosted a panel featuring Jeroen Kodde, Fenna Heyning, Deborah Maufi MD, MBA and Willem Fontijn who shared their personal stories and journeys, leaving us inspired.
