Chapter 7 —— 173 —— Acknowledgements It’s a long and tough road to get here submitting the thesis for doctoral defense. Working with viruses is interesting and tricky, since we can use the power of our enemies to serve our own benefits but with amounts of intellectual and physical collaboration to achieve the goals by unpredictable cost. The explorative work presented in this thesis could be done by the financial supports of the China Scholarship Council - Leiden University joint program, the Prinses Beatrix Spierfonds, the Duchenne Parent Project NL, the Dutch Research Council (NWO) - Open Technology Program, and EU Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network Actions. Beyonds the money, I also got the energy and confidence to finish the work from my family, friends, each member in Dr. Manuel Gonçalves’ and Prof. Dr. Rob Hoeben’s group, the personnel of the Flow Cytometry Core Facility of the LUMC and each people I met in CCB, LUMC, Leiden and the Netherlands. But at the very beginning, I am from Sanya in China, the route to Leiden is quite long, 5 years in Wuhan, 3 years in Shanghai and happily I am back to China pursuing the realization of the vow being a medical doctor. Till now I would like to thank all the people I met so far, not only the people I met in the journey to be a PhD, but each one I met in the journey of my life. No matter what experience the people I met brought to me, it makes who I am, therefore it’s also appreciated to be parts of the live of the people I met. Since there are too many names of the people who I would like to cherish and acknowledge in the path of life. Limited by the space and preferring to express in a simple way personally, my sincere gratitude is to all the people I met, meet and will.
