Tom Voûte Young Investigator Awards
The Tom Voûte Young Investigator Awards competition is organized yearly by KiKa, in honour of the late Dr. Tom Voûte. In this competition, PhD candidates in paediatric oncology present their research and compete for the Tom Voûte Young Investigator Awards. In 2025, Marjolein Kes and Konradin Müskens won the 14th edition.
Marjolein and Konradin win the Tom Voûte Young Investigator Awards 2025!
In November 2025, 9 PhD candidates in paediatric oncology presented their inspiring research to fellow researchers. In between the presentations, dr. Joost Bakker shared his insights on career choices outside of academia and Prof. dr. Jeroen Hendrikse shared how small interactions with others can make a big difference.
In the afternoon, an expert jury consisting of Prof. dr. Edwin Cuppen (UMC Utrecht /Hartwig Medical Foundation), dr. Anouk Hiensch (UMC Utrecht), and dr. Simon Bomken (New Castle University) selected Marjolein Kes and Konradin Müskens as the two winners! They both received a cheque of €2.500,- to spend on research or personal development.
