Meet Jan Paul, external relations officer of the 2nd In Silico Board:

I am Jan Paul and a second-year BiBC student at Utrecht University with a Bachelor’s background in Molecular Life Sciences. Last year, I was part of the ConneCie committee, where I served as the Acquisition member. In this role, I gained valuable experience in connecting with companies and securing collaborations for our association. Outside of my studies, I enjoy board games, gaming, Dungeons & Dragons, delving into history and reading.

As a stem cell donor, you can save a life! For a

As a stem cell donor, you can save a life!

For a patient with leukemia or another form of blood cancer, a stem cell transplant is often the
only chance of a cure. Unfortunately, a patient cannot receive stem cells from just anyone. The
tissue typing (HLA) of the donor must match that of the patient as closely as possible. Regrettably,
the chances of such a match are very small. Even within ones own family, there is only a 30%
chance of finding a suitable donor.
A patient is therefore mostly dependent on an unknown donor from the worldwide registry of
potential stem cell donors. Currently, there are 41 million people worldwide registered as stem
cell donors, around 415.000 of whom are in the Netherlands. But this number still does not
provide a suitable donor for every patient.
