That, combined with her strong personal ambitions for a lab animal-free future, made her the winner of both the jury award and the audience award this year.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-8 fusion_builder_column_1_4 1_4 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:25%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:7.68%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:7.68%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:15px;margin-bottom:10px;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-double\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;--awb-sep-color:rgba(226,226,226,0);border-color:rgba(226,226,226,0);border-top-width:1px;border-bottom-width:1px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element \" style=\"--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-2 hover-type-none\" style=\"border-radius:50%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" alt=\"Giulia Moreni\" title=\"Giulia Moreni\" src=\"https:\/\/proefdiervrij.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Giulia-Moreni-200x200.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-43451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/proefdiervrij.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Giulia-Moreni-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/proefdiervrij.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Giulia-Moreni-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/proefdiervrij.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Giulia-Moreni-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/proefdiervrij.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Giulia-Moreni-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/proefdiervrij.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Giulia-Moreni.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-8 zwart\" style=\"--awb-text-transform:none;\"><p>Giulia Moreni, clinical virologist at the Amsterdam UMC<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-8 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1040px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-9 fusion_builder_column_3_4 3_4 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:75%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:2.56%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:2.56%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-menu-anchor\" id=\"winner2022\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-9 zwart\" style=\"--awb-text-transform:none;\"><h2 class=\"blauwtweeregels\">Winner 2022: Niels Harlaar<\/h2>\n<p>On October 18, 2022, Niels Harlaar won the Hugo van Poelgeest Award of 2022.
