319 Acknowledgements precious patient samples were possible to be completed. Dear Niek, thank you for your ever-positive attitude and interesting questions during the meetings. Dear Rhode, it’s so nice to see you as a PhD candidate in the group now, and thank you for your amazing work on the image analysis you did during your internship with us. To the other previous and current members of the Lung Pathology group, thank you for your input in the meetings and providing a safe scientific environment for everyone. I also would like to thank my past and present colleagues from the Medical Biology section of the department of Pathology and Medical Biology. Francisco, we always worked on similar topics and having scientific chats in the 3D Meeting was always fun with you, it’s a shame that we never got to collaborate. Thanks for everything! Jolien, your dedication and time management skills impressed and inspired me! Thank you for the nice chats in the office and showing me the fact that a 9-5 PhD would still work (or 8-4 in your case!)! Fenghua, you are very hard-working and eager to learn more, thank you for your contribution in the Ruthenium paper and looking forward to continuing to collaborate. Other past and current members of the X, Z and U labs: Meng, Linda, Vasilena, Guido, Josee, Pytrick, Marja, Peter, Matthijs B., Anita N., Anita M., Timara, Bart, Rianne, Wendy, Sandra, Matthijs L., Theo, Johan, thank you for making the labs and the department a fun place to work! Moreover, I would like to extend my thanks to Carolien, Johanna and Hans as they have supported and me (and the whole department) in our endless paperwork, questions and problems. My colleagues from the Weiss group in the University of Vermont in Burlington, Vermont, USA: Bennett, Chika, Joy, Katina, Will – thank you for showing me around in the lab and in the campus as well as nice chats and fun! I enjoyed my time in Burlington even more thanks to you, I wish you success in your careers moving forward. The colleagues from the department of Molecular Pharmacology: dear Rosa, our PhD trajectories were quite alike both topic- and organization-wise. How nice that we could take this a step further and collaborate on two different projects to cross the paths! Despite the experiments and results being frustrating, thank you for your proactiveness and your help in these projects. Dear Reinoud, I’m grateful to the opportunities we had to interact and collaborate. I consider your kindness and humble attitude as a quite remarkable personality trait, which I will aim to take as an example. I also would like to thank to the other members of the department: Shanshan, Habibie, Marina and Sophie for their willingness to help both for the projects and for when I was (possibly) wandering around the department cluelessly.
