The study of microplastics in placenta and their effects, led by Prof. Juliette Legler, has been awarded a ZonMw Pearl award because “it is a textbook example of how multidisciplinary collaboration can quickly achieve a breakthrough”. The Pearl has been awarded to all consortium members for their crucial contributions, including A-LIFE technicians and researchers Martin van Velzen, Sandra Nijmeijer, Douwe Molenaar, Dick Vethaak and Marja Lamoree and external colleagues Gavin ten Tusscher (pediatrician Dijklander Ziekenhuis, Hoorn) and Heather Leslie.
