Hosea Handoyo, a PhD student in Philip Cohen's laboratory, has been awarded a prestigious pre-doctoral Research Fellowship from the Boehringer-Ingelheim Foundation. The award of €2000 per month will provide Hosea's stipend for two years with the possibility of renewal for a further 12 months. An additional €100 per month is provided for other project related costs.
Hosea was born and brought up in Indonesia, but for the past 4 years has been an undergraduate student at the HAN University of Applied Sciences, Nijmegen, The Netherlands where he graduated this summer with cum laude. During his final year, Hosea spent nine months in Philip's laboratory carrying out a research project to understand how the protein kinase Tpl2 is activated by Interleukin-1. Tpl2 is activated during infection by pathogens and plays a key role in fighting infection by stimulating the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Hosea will extend these studies during the first phase of his PhD project.
