December 15, 2011: Chris de Korte has been awarded the prestigeous VICI grant from the Dutch Science Foundation (NWO). The VICI is a personal grant of 1.5 million euros and is awarded at internationally recognized scientists. He is one of the few researchers that has been awarded the VENI, VIDI and VICI, the three different grants that form the “Vernieuwingsimpuls”. In the upcoming five years he will develop new techniques for ultrafast echography allowing to improve not only the image quality but also assess functional information of the heart and arteries.

January 2009: Richard Lopata has won the "Best Oral Presentation Award" at the 2 nd Dutch Conference on Bio-Medical Engineering. During the conference, Richard gave the best presentation in the CardioVascular sessions resulting in a qualification for the final. In the final, he gave the best 2 minutes presentation and won the award and a cheque. Richard is working on 3D cardiac deformation imaging and developed an ultrasound based technique to determine the strain in the cardiac wall in three directions (radial, circumferential and longitudinal).
