The main aim of the award was to visit Prof. Jan Danser’s laboratory (Erasmus University Medical Center based in Rotterdam, Netherlands) to establish a partnership between our groups, since we have common scientific interests and agreed to perform scientific research collaboration. Prof. Jan Danser’s group was starting an animal treatment with a VEGFR inhibitor (Sunitinib) not used by our group so far and I went to help with the initial vascular functional experiments and tissue collection from those animals, which were sent to us for future experiments.
