We are pleased to announce that Kaat van de Vyver has taken on the role of Managing Director as of 1 May 2025. At the same time, we are preparing for the departure of Prof. Dr. Jochen Mierau, who will step down as Scientific Director on 1 September 2025.
How does speaking multiple languages relate to cognitive functioning in later life? Floor van den Berg, linguist and researcher, tackled this question using our Lifelines cohort.
We are proud to announce the appointment of Trynke de Jong as the new Sharing Manager at Lifelines. Trynke started her career at Lifelines 6.5 years ago as project leader and has since played an important role in promoting scientific research and collaboration.
A selection of Lifelines participants will also be invited for an additional study on gut health: DAG5.
A new study will soon start using a small activity tracker placed on your thigh. The study is an initiative of Radboud UMC and is supported by the Heart Foundation and the Brain Foundation.
As of 2025, there will be a change in Lifelines rates. From January 1, 2025, the standard partner fees will apply again for researchers from RUG/UMCG. You have also been informed about this by RUG and/or UMCG.
The Aletta Jacobs School of Public Health and Lifelines are organising the Lifelines Researchers Community Event on 10 October.

A recent study in Northern Europe found that lung nodules are prevalent in nearly half of nonsmoking men and over a third of nonsmoking women, raising concerns about lung health management in this traditionally low-risk group.
Recently at Lifelines, we have been working on a new innovation to make our data more accessible for research while strengthening the privacy of our participants. Using synthetic data from Syntho, we can now generate a dataset that has the same statistical properties as the collected data, without including the exact data of our participants.
Lifelines and Aevai Health are launching a brand new and innovative pilot project: a digital assistant that guides participants through self-measurement.
Lifelines opened the first location the fourth round of the long-term, Northern health study. A new location has been set up in the UMCG.
The third assessment of Lifelines will start in October this year. To collect data and biomaterials for this assessment, Lifelines will collaborate with Certe: an organisation for medical diagnostics and advice in the north of the Netherlands. 167.000 Lifelines participants will be invited over a period of 5 years to visit a Certe location.
Are you planning a research proposal? Do you need more information about the available data and how to get access? If so, please sign up for our next workshop on Tuesday 17th September, from 11.00 - 13.00. This workshop will include a demonstration of our virtual analysis environment (‘workspace’) and a tour of our Lifestore. Lunch will be included.
