🔥Heat shock response in #Sulfolobus🔥 👉In this new #mbio paper we combine omics-experiments to shed light on underlying regulatory mechanisms! It was a great collaboration between MICR Research Group - VUB, SFC_Lab, Dina Grohmann, Felix Grünberger,...! journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.11… @fwo VUB

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

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 Bangor University Thermophiles Conference 2023

🎉🏆 Congrats to Wouter Magnus on winning the Best Poster Award at the Belgian Society for Viruses of Microbes Symposium in Liège! 🙌🎊 Your hard work on viral transcription regulators has paid off, and we're thrilled to celebrate with you.

🎉🌿 Huge congratulations to Mohamed Ashraf (Mohamed Ashraf 𓅓 🎗️ ) 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

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🎓👏

🌟 Meet our Young Researcher(s) of the Month from the MICR Research Group - VUB 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! 👏

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

This year, the FWO 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!
