Many of Jansen’s co-workers became professor at dermatology departments in the Netherlands: Lubertus Berrens, Eric Bleumink, Annelies van Bronswijk, Rudi Cormane, Eise van Dijk, Götze Kalsbeek, Arnoud Klokke, Jan van der Meer and Edward Young. A highlight of this period was the newly built dermatology department, designed by Zoon but only completed in 1959, a year after his death. Room was made for many different laboratories, notably experimental allergy, histopathology, immunofluorescence , mycology and “mini-biology”. Another new development was the start of an out-patient department for auto-immune diseases which eventually merged with the multidisciplinary Department of Immunology. Meanwhile, the allergy department continued to expand, with a multidisciplinary out-patient clinic for allergic diseases opening in 1960. Encompassing pediatrics, lung diseases, ENT, ophthalmology, bacteriology/immunology, this clinic was headed by Edward Young. Together with Lubertus Berrens, Young was particularly keen to lead the study of immediate-type allergy. A sizeable number of PhDs was awarded to non-medical researchers on the subject of characterization of allergens. Berrens received the Robert Koch Medal for his work on the reactivity of allergens by means of complement activation. 67 Lubertus Berrens and Leendert Hendrikus Jansen.
