Proud that we could contribute in the artwork "the greater gut" that Matthijs De Block developed. You can see it Design Museum Gent during the Design Fest Gent. Congrats to all Dries Duchi Wouter Demeester Tom Van de Wiele Jana De Bodt Centre for Synthetic Biology, CMET UGent, @LUCASchoolofArt

Last week, I had the opportunity to present my poster on high-throughput biosensor construction and characterisation at National Symposium Applied Biological Sciences. Thanks to the organisers for the interesting conference! Centre for Synthetic Biology #biosensors #ugent #PhD

Interested in engineering non-standard bacterial hosts for #synbio or industrial biotechnology applications? Then our new review in Biotech Advances will interest you! Centre for Synthetic Biology Faculty of Bioscience Engineering UGent #POSSIBL authors.elsevier.com/c/1fiVb2d7Ir6k…

Me flash-presenting @#ASBEVI about my New-to-Nature Biosensors postdoc project FWO and giving a nod to all my other colleagues Centre for Synthetic Biology Faculty of Bioscience Engineering UGent. Lots of biosensor projects to explore here❤️! We should organize a biosensor conference together!

Last week, I had the opportunity to join the #ASBEVI conference in Edinburgh. It has been a joy connecting with fellow #synbio researchers and getting inspired by the amazing speakers! Thanks EFB Biotechnology for the organisation and the chance to present my work!

Excited to share our latest publication! Our new review dives deep into one of my favorite topics —LysR-type transcriptional regulators— the largest family of bacterial transcription factors, and their use in novel transcriptional biosensors. #Synbio #Biosensors #LTTRs

Great experience presenting our recent biosensor work at the Brno Observatory 🇨🇿at #ASBE7 EFB Biotechnology Centre for Synthetic Biology Faculty of Bioscience Engineering UGent. Thank you for the opportunity to present, the already many interesting discussions (and the awesome Voyager experience 🌌)

Had an amazing time at #ASBEVII in Brno! Honored to present my PhD work one last time. A couple of intense days filled with inspiring talks, connecting with fellow SynBio geeks, and fun stargazing/party evenings at the beautiful Brno Observatory! EFB Biotechnology Centre for Synthetic Biology
