Mijn wetenschappelijk hart gaat sneller kloppen van beeldvorming in celbiologisch en genetisch onderzoek. Bij de letterlijke beeldvorming staan microscopie en moleculaire wetenschappen centraal: met een paar fraaie kunstgrepen worden de biomoleculaire processen in cellen en chromosomen in fraaie en kleurrijke beelden op het netvlies geprojecteerd. De hersenen gaan met die beelden aan het werk. Ze worden geinterpreteerd en geplaatst in het licht van celbiologische en genetische hypotheses. Meestal geven ze aanleiding tot verdere experimentele toetsing om tot nog scherpere denkbeelden te komen die de waarheid van de gezonde en zieke cel moeten weerspiegelen. En er zitten nog een aantal stimulerende aspecten aan dit werk: de stap naar diagnostische toepassing is goed te maken, de verschillende beelden dragen een eigen schoonheid in zich en het is een plezier die (denk)beelden te doceren.
Op 10 mei 2000 sprak hij zijn oratie uit, getiteld: 'Cellen en moleculen microscopisch in beeld'.
