Amolf

FOM Institute AMOLF is one of the research laboratories of the Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM), part of the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). AMOLF employs about 130 scientists and 70 support staff. The institute is located in Science Park Amsterdam.

AMOLF has biological and physical research programs. In our Systems Biophysics program, we pursue the quantitative, systems-level investigation of functional cellular modules. Following tremendous progress in the biophysical study of single molecules, an important challenge for the future lies in the combined experimental/theoretical study of multi-component systems that dictate the functional behavior of living cells.

At AMOLF we will focus on active cytoskeletal materials and biochemical regulation networks and the interplay between them. In vitro techniques have now arrived at a level where multiple cellular modules (both mechanical components and regulation networks) can be reconstituted simultaneously in relevant cellular geometries. In addition, the properties of regulation networks can be unraveled in model systems using genetic engineering, advanced microscopic techniques, and computer modeling. A physics-based, bottom-up approach to cellular modules contributes to the quickly developing field of systems biology. This program heavily relies on the close interaction between theoretical and experimental groups at AMOLF and is carried out in strong collaboration with biology groups worldwide.

Tesla 

The Tesla minor is an intensive and full-time programme at the University of Amsterdam with a duration of five months. The aim of this minor is to connect science, business and society. This minor gives space for a selected group of master students of the beta faculty that are interested in an extra challenge next to their normal study programme. Students work together in groups of three on a project for an external client (Government, company, NGO, etc.).

Projects are complex, and are on the interface of academia, business and society. Students are responsible for the success of their own project. This requires skills like project management, communication and presentation. In the Tesla minor there is a lot of opportunities to improve on these skills, because half of the time is reserved for personal development through trainings, workshops, lectures and sports.

The moment Wendelien and Mariah discovered that there are synthetic substances in tampons, sanitary napkins and panty liners, they were shocked. Where are the ingedriënts not on the outside? Wendelien and Mariah believe that it is time for change and that is why they started Yoni.

The tampons, sanitary napkins and panty liners from Yoni do not contain plastics or other synthetic substances, also no chloor  and no traces of pepticides. Besides this, the products of Yoni are all biodegredable.
Yoni wants to give every woman the opportunity to choose for healtier women products. Because, which woman does not deserve this right? Spread the word so together, we can change this industry!
