MICR Research Group - VUB

Today’s a big day in MICR history! 🎉 We’re stepping up our coffee game with a fancy new machine! ☕️ Here’s to even more groundbreaking research fueled by top-tier espresso. Thanks @PeetersEveline & @jruytinx #Coffeelovers #research #phdlife @VUBrussel @researchvub

Extreme Virus alert! 🍋 Presenting an update of my work on transcription regulation in the SSV1-Saccharolobus interaction at @VoM_2024 tonight! Great conference so far 🤩 #vom2024 #archaea

Really excited to share that I received the award of Best Poster for my work on Sulfolobus stress response at the #embo workshop Molecular Biology of #Archaea, last week at @Polytechnique 🔥. Grateful for this great conclusion to an excellent conference! @MicrVub @VUBrussel

Our PhD researcher Simon Vandelook has published a paper in the Journal of Fungi! In this paper, he delves into transcriptional induction of laccase enzymes in Trametes versicolor. @FWOVlaanderen @VUBrussel mdpi.com/2309-608X/10/6…

A few weeks ago, our PhD researcher @BrendanSchroyen did an excellent job communicating about our research on #extremophiles to a broad audience at @nerdlandbe! 🌟 #sciencecommunication @FWOVlaanderen @VUBrussel

@RadwaMoanis from the @VUBrussel Research Group Microbiology will publicly defend her PhD on #bioplastic production in #thermophiles on Wednesday July 3rd. Everybody is kindly invited to join the defense, either physically or online. More information can be found below 👇

Join us in "TOWARDS A RUINED THEATER" exhibition. Featured are 5 unique pieces, results of our mycelium research from the works of @EliseElsacker , Aurélie Van Wylick, Simon Vandelook and Anouk Verstuyft. More Details in the link below linkedin.com/posts/micrlab_…

📢Our review on Lrs14 chromatin-organizing proteins in #Sulfolobales in Mol Microbiol is out now! 🧬We propose that Lrs14s, with their unique DNA-binding properties, regulate global gene expression upon stress. 👉onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/mm… @VeerkeDekock @PeetersEveline #archaea

🔬Exciting news! #MICR Research Group unveils Master Thesis positions for next year! Explore SynBio, extremophiles, mycorrhizae, bioplastics, &mycelium materials. Join us in pioneering research at the forefront of Microbiology. Don't miss out! @VUBrussel @PeetersEveline @jruytinx

This year, the @FWOVlaanderen PhD fellowship results are very successful for us! Congratulations to Vincent Crabbe, Chloé Vanden Haute, Annah-Ololade Sangosanya & Marie Vandijck! We look forward to their PhD trajectories on SynBio, bioplastics, mycelium materials & thermophiles!

Christmas came early in @VUBrussel as we got our brand new @NikonBelgie Eclipse Ti2 fluorescence microscope today. This will push further our work on fluorescent proteins & expression studies in Yeast, Archaea and Bacteria.

🌟 Meet our Young Researcher(s) of the Month from the @MicrVub research group at VUB! These brilliant minds are breaking grounds in Bioengineering & shaping the future of innovation. 🔬Join us in celebrating their dedication to pushing boundaries & making an impact! 👏

Congratulations to our latest Doctor, Amber Bernauw, on earning your doctorate in Bio-engineering! That's a tremendous achievement and a testament to your dedication and hard work. Wishing you continued success and fulfilment🎓👏

🎉🌿 Huge congratulations to Mohamed Ashraf (@Mahamed_Ashraf ) for clinching "Best Poster Award" at #ESBP2023! 🏆 Your work on bioplastics is shaping the future of sustainable materials. Keep innovating and paving the way towards a greener world! 🌍🌱 #Bioplastics #Sustainability

🎉🏆 Congrats to @MagnusWouter on winning the Best Poster Award at the @BSVoM_official Symposium in Liège! 🙌🎊 Your hard work on viral transcription regulators has paid off, and we're thrilled to celebrate with you.

I had a wonderful time attending the #Thermophiles2023 conference last week. It was great to reconnect with longtime friends and collaborators while also meeting new researchers in the field Thanks for an excellent organization Olga Golyshina & co @BangorUni @thermophiles16

I’m very proud of our most recent publication on heat shock response in #Sulfolobus Congratulations to @Rani_Baes and all collaborators!
