Caption

This is Bert-Jan Souman, director of the Lifelines biobank which will set out to identify both hereditary and environmental factors that partially determine whether someone may fall seriously ill due to the coronavirus or simply develop mild symptoms. This is done by sending questionnaires to 135,000 residents of the Northern Netherlands, who are already participating in the biobank's long-term research program.
