Excited to attend the MPS Summit, after a weekend full of inspirational discussions at the first European Loeys-Dietz syndrome meeting. #LoveScience

Congratulations and thank you for a spectacular patient day in Antwerp, Belgium on Saturday! Special thanks to Dr. Bart Loeys and to our PAB members and partners who traveled from the US to spread LDS education and awareness to our LDS community in Europe.

BREAKING: Reuters reports that Aspartame, which is one of the world's most common artificial sweeteners, is set to be declared a possible carcinogen.

I'm very happy to share that our collaborative study between Department Biology, Chemistry, Pharmacy FU Berlin and Stefan Mundlos & Melvin C Bicomong is finally published online iScience journal. cell.com/iscience/fullt… We show the mechano-dependency of BMP9 SMAD-signaling in the vasculature. #BMP #ATACseq #genomics #vasculature

Congratulations to Anne Hebert and Ivanna Fedoryshchenko for obtaining a PhD fellowship from FWO! 🥳🥳

I am not a parent, but I endorse this message 😊

Please join the EVBO webinar on Jan 30 to hear about the role blood mechanosensation during cardiac valve development by Thomas Juan. He will dissect the role of several mechanosensors and describe a genetic tool to control cardiac contractions in zebrafish. Thomas Juan

Honoured to have received an ERC Starting Grant to push preclinical thoracic aortic aneurysm forward!🎉🫀👩🏼‍🔬 I could not have achieved this without the support of the UA Cardiogenomics team members 🙏. European Research Council (ERC) UAntwerpen
