These days Professor Christine Van Broeckhoven is a leading international authority on Alzheimer, dementia, manic depressive psychoses and other neurological diseases in adults. But like many women her age in science, she had to struggle hard against the status quo to get any kind of recognition for her work. “I started my research unpaid 25 years ago. Now I have more than one hundred people working for me in the neurodegenerative diseases group at the University of Antwerp”, she said, during a very well-attended lecture for WISE (Women in Science Eindhoven) last week at TU/e.
