Identifying when children are most at risk of being taken into care within youth protection programmes. Improving the quality of surgery with video analysis. The interaction between wind and vegetation for optimising the resilience of coastal dunes. Developing reliable algorithms for statistical learning with interactive decision science. These are four of the two hundred research projects by researchers who have been awarded a Veni grant. Each researcher will receive a maximum of 320,000 euros. The grant is an incentive for adventurous, talented and groundbreaking researchers to further develop their own research ideas over the next three years.

Human longevity, which is coupled to compression of age-related disease, is a heritable trait. However, only few common genetic variants have been linked to longevity, suggesting that rare, family-spe...

In this study, we investigated the contribution of rare coding variants to human longevity by analyzing whole exome sequencing data from 1245 German long-lived individuals (LLI) and 4105 geographicall...
