STELLINGEN
Behorende bij het proefschriftVPS13A: Shining light on its localization and function
1. Awareness of off-target mutations is crucial when applying CRISPR/Cas9 in Drosophila
melanogaster. [This thesis]
2. The Drosophila ovary system provides new insights for the study of a neurodegenerative
disease. [This thesis]
3. VPS13A is a peripheral membrane protein associated with different organelles. [This thesis]
4. Drosophila Vps13 mutants are a suitable model to study the function of human VPS13A due
to the fact that human VPS13A can restore multiple mutant phenotypes. [This thesis] 5. “Science never solves a problem without creating ten more.” [George Bernard Shaw] 6. The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds the most discoveries, is
not “Eureka!” but “That’s funny…”. [Isaac Asimov] 7. “Meten is weten.” [Unknown]
8. The most frequently asked question when you work with fruit flies is ‘how to get rid of them?’.
9. Wanneer meer dan de helft van de promovendi niet binnen vier jaar promoveert, is de motivering om het promotietraject te verkorten van vier naar drie jaar zeker niet gebaseerd op haalbaarheid.
