PROFILE H2020

Congratulations Johana Hridinova with an excellent #PhD defence! Very nice discussions on etiology and treatment of iTTP @ITN_Profile @UvA_Amsterdam @MaastrichtUMC @sanquin @KU_Leuven

Thanks Marie Scully for highlighting our paper on #ADAMTS13 #TTP @ITNProfile @KULeuvenKulak @icosagen Transforming the major autoantibody site on ADAMTS13: spacer domain variants retaining von Willebrand factor cleavage activity | Haematologica haematologica.org/article/view/1…

6 non-overlapping fragments of ADAMTS13 were used to develop and validate a fine epitope mapping ELISA of autoantbodies in iTTP. This high-throughput assay may be used in future clinical studies. Read more at #RPTH: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… @kvhoorel @KU_Leuven @VoorbergJ

Currently-published epitope mapping data of anti-ADAMTS13 autoantibodies in iTTP is broad due to the use of large protein fragments. Learn how @kvhoorel and colleagues fine-mapped these epitopes in 18 patients with iTTP. Results ➡️ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… @KU_Leuven @VoorbergJ

Very well moderated Q&A session by Ilaria Mancini on the session of Thrombotic Microangiopathies at @ISTH. @BogacErcig @kvhoorel @ITN_PROFILE

Great collaborative work by the Vanhoorelbeke-team @KULeuvenKulak and Andres Mannik's cloning factory @icosagen. Nicely executed by star PhD student Kadri Kangro of @ITN_PROFILE onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Here is where TTP patients receive their therapy. #ttpcommunity #RareDiseaseDay @azgroeninge

We do not know how strong we are until being strong is your only choice. #ttpcommunity #rarediseaseday @azgroeninge

We are starting our #walkforttp celebrating #rarediseaseday. @KULeuvenKulak @azgroeninge @RodeKruisVL @SanofiGenzyme @stadkortrijk

TODAY!!! #RareDiseaseDay show your rare, show you care. Join the #WalkForTTP. From @KULeuvenKulak to @azgroeninge.

We're closing #DIATECH2020 with a visit to the @LeuvenU library. Thank you all for a nice conference and see you next time! #Leuven

In vitro #diagnostics very slow in entering the market. WHY? Delays go about upscaling difficulties, risk & profit, complexity of biology. ‘And probably we need more #women in the field too!’, says professor Joanne Macdonald, the only female at the panel discussion @DIATECH2020
