🚀 Boosting bacterial immunopeptide discovery! Our bioinformatics workflow integrates 4 search engines with follow-up rescoring to enhance ID by 27%, maximizing the discovery of vaccine candidates. Applied to timsTOF/Thermo data🦠💉 @ImpensLab 🔗Read: pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Happy to share our immunopeptidomics pipeline using four search engine with follow-up rescoring to boost confident IDs. Also applied to timsTOF SCP data! @ImpensLab @compomics Preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share our latest MCP article uncovering > 6,000 MHC class I immunopeptides in Listeria-infected mice, including 12 Listeria peptides and a potent CD8+ T cell epitope. Many thanks to all co-authors for the excellent work! Read more at doi.org/10.1016/j.mcpr…

@the_prbb @VIBLifeSciences @sabidolab @CRGenomica Thank you for the invitation, looking forward!

📣 New PRBB-CRG conference 📋 Host-bacteria proteomics: from antibacterial PTMs to vaccine development 🗣️ Francis Impens (@ImpensLab) - @VIBLifeSciences 📆 June 21 - ⏰ 12:00 CET hosted by: @sabidolab - @CRGenomica 📍#PRBB Marie Curie Room

Here it is: our paper on the benefit of using in silico predicted libraries in DIA 🎉🎉🎉😎🙏 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… @KrisGevaert_VIB @RalfGabriels @RobbinBouwmees @SaraDuf79861163 @mtpmmaia @VIBProteomxCore @ImpensLab

Proud to have it out there! The setup that boosts our throughput!💪😎 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Meet SlyB, a lipoprotein that forms stress-induced #lipidraft in the bacterial outer membrane. Off the hands of the great @ArneJanssens95 and @nguyenson85, in collaboration with @JFClab @ImpensLab and Alex Pak lab. @structbiolbxl @BECM_VIB nature.com/articles/s4158…

👏Congratulations to @kkariko & @weissmanlab on becoming #NobelPrize laureates. A lifetime achievement celebrating their important research on #mRNA technology in vaccines. 🤔Did you know VIB, together with @VUBrussel, @ugent and participation of several international institutes helped establish the #BAXERNA consortium to further explore the potential of mRNA vaccines?

We are looking for a #postdoc position in #immunopeptidomics @ VIB & UGent with proteomics/peptidomics expertise to develop novel antibacterial #vaccines, see jobso.id/g492. A warm call to proteomics postdocs to apply!

@lradoshevich26 @BrukerMassSpec There you go!

Research on #Moyamoya disease @ImpensLab: "Rare diseases result from dysregulated, often yet unknown molecular pathways. Investigating these conditions can lead to groundbreaking fundamental discoveries while opening treatment options for the patients."

@AurelieCrabbe @VIB_CMB @ERC_Research @ugent @ugent_fge @VIBLifeSciences @FWOVlaanderen Thank you Aurélie!

@ImpensLab @VIB_CMB @ERC_Research @ugent @ugent_fge @VIBLifeSciences @FWOVlaanderen Great news, congratulations Francis!!

We are very excited and extremely grateful to receive this #ERCCoG grant from @ERC_Research. It is a recognition for the whole team and we thank @VIB_CMB @ugent @ugent_fge @VIBLifeSciences @FWOVlaanderen and many others for their continuous support!
