Our lab is moving to another platform. You can now find us here! 🚚👇

🔬 Peptides make powerful drugs, but they are difficult to synthesize. So, @JNJInnovMed teamed up with VIB scientists (@Masschelein_Lab @VIB_microbes) to harness the power of bacteria! 👉 Read here vibbio.tech/3CUm0bB

We're very proud of Luka Van den Berghe for securing an #FWO PhD fellowship! 🎉👏 As the 2022 @iGEM_KULeuven Team Leader, Luka was recently invited to write a paper on live biotherapeutics for anticancer therapy in the iGEM competition. Read more here! 👉bit.ly/3zNeE8I

PhD defense of Nataliia Machushynets has started @LeidenBiology @LeidenU. thanks to @Masschelein_Lab Mark liles @marnixmedema @EvolvedBiofilm @derozenleiden @SpainkHerman for being on the committee and to felliw promotor @NatMart_Chembio

@Masschelein_Lab is in Leiden for a PhD defence from @LeidenBiology and therefore we can enjoy her talk on lipid antibiotics

📢 Our lab is hiring! Interested in harnessing the biosynthetic potential of beneficial, human-associated bacteria? We're looking for a passionate #postdoc to engineer gut bacteria for local, in vivo disease detection and drug delivery. Apply now! 👇bit.ly/3T38qIi

Throwback to our @VIB_microbes retreat with @RaesLab, @LabMichiels, @Masschelein_Lab, @SibylleVonesch and @KevinVerstrepen's team at the Antwerp Zoo!

Excited to speak at the 15th Global Industrial Microbiology Congress & Metabolic Engineering Summit in Shanghai this fall. Abstract submissions are still open! gim-mes2024.org 🌎🦠🧬

@GillesvanWezel @KLM Hopelijk zit de kat er niet meer in 😉

beste @klm ik heb een DM gestuurd over missende bagage. Graag een reactie.

Many congratulations to @HansGerstmans for being awarded a senior @FWOVlaanderen postdoctoral fellowship!! 🥳👏 Looking forward to the collaboration with @lammertyn_lab and @ColindaScheele! @BiologyKULeuven @VIB_microbes @vib_ccb @biosystkuleuven

Many congratulations to @HannePut @HansGerstmans @Hannevdc99 for their hard work on this!

Thrilled to announce our latest review article in collab. with @LabMichiels, featured in @NatProdReports! We explore the power of Bacillus subtilis for uncovering and engineering novel #naturalproduct biosynthetic pathways.🦠🧬Read the full story here: bit.ly/49YzyhV

🚨 ECRs working on Natural Products 🚨 Join us for our annual 2-day symposium #CBNP17 on 4th– 5th July 2024. Running straight after Directing Biosynthesis (Birmingham) #DBVII. Sponsored by @UKRI_News and @RSC_CBBG. Registration & info: warwick.ac.uk/naturalproducts.

We are looking for a #BusinessDevelopment Manager at @VIB_microbes! This is your chance to transform scientific discoveries and innovations🔬into practical applications and impactful industry collaborations.🚀 Apply now! 👇 jobs.vib.be/j/73247/busine…
