Ruth Willems: PhD Defence at Maastricht University on Thrombosis and Bleeding in HPB Disease
Ruth Willems, Resident in Internal Medicine at Maastricht UMC+, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Last Friday, November 6th, I successfully defended my PhD thesis entitled ‘Thrombosis and Bleeding in Hepatopancreatobiliary Disease: Unraveling Hemostatic Imbalance’ at Maastricht University.
It was a truly special and memorable day, and I enjoyed every minute of it!
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisory team, Dr. Judith de Vos-Geelen, Em. Prof. Dr. Hugo Ten Cate, Dr. Bas de Laat, and Dr. Mark Roest, for their invaluable guidance, encouragement, and support throughout this journey.
A special thank you to my paranymphs, Aniek van Diepen and Harmen Middelveld, for standing by my side on this important day.
I am also very grateful to the members of my doctoral committee, Prof. Dr. Steven WM Olde Damink, Prof. Dr. Saskia Middeldorp, Prof. Dr. Ton Lisman, Dr. Tim Calon, Dr. Floor Heubel-Moenen, and Dr. Renske Olie, for their time, thoughtful questions, and inspiring scientific discussions.
Finally, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined me to celebrate this milestone and made the day even more special.
A day I will always remember!”
