A widely used anti-parasite drug awakens the virus from a dormant state in people living with HIV. This was discovered by scientists at Erasmus MC in the first study to test this drug in people living with HIV. ‘The road to cure is still long.’

Give researchers at Erasmus MC a tube of mixed blood from several people, and they tell you how many people’s material it contains. And who they are. This new approach is particularly useful in forensic science, where crime scene traces are more often mixed than not mixed.

Researchers have used artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning technology to find a link between alterations in the shape of children’s faces and the amount of alcohol their mothers drank, both before becoming pregnant and during pregnancy.

Scientists at Erasmus MC have succeeded in making mouse embryos without using eggs, sperm cells and a uterus. They used stem cells. The artificial embryos enable animal-free research into the very beginning of life.
