In Memoriam

In memoriam LUMC em. prof. dr. Frans Claas, Transplantation Immunologist

With great sadness we were informed by our TxMiller board member Ronald Bontrop that Frans Claas unexpectedly passed away. Frans was together with Ilse visiting Ronald and his wife Diënne in South Africa.

Frans has been the scientific advisor of GenDx since we started in 2004 and he became also a personal mentor of us. For more than twenty years we had a warmhearted relationship and were enthusiastically supported by Frans on our entrepreneurial  journey. We shared many authentic as well as scientific stories and views during our regular meetings, often during nice diners, accompanied by good wines. Frans will truly be missed.

Our thoughts are with Ilse and their family.
