At the start of this new academic year, we would like to welcome our new members in this continuously expanding group of researchers. We now have expertise in bio-engineering, biomedical sciences, medicine and basic sciences! Our master student Pieter-Jan Creemers will be staying for the next four years as one of our newest PhD students together with Julie Messiaen. Last but not least Aranka Persyn joined us as a master student Bio-Engineering.

With a new year, it is custom to reflect on what happend in the past 365 days and make plans towards the future. This Monday we had our yearly overview of all of the different research projects running in the lab. This gave a great idea of the progress booked during this year and helped others better understand the whole picture of the research going on in our lab. Since good interpersonal relationships are a must, we went for lunch afterwards and got to know the newest team members.

With this new year, there is a lot of exciting new techniques that will be introduced, new challenges, new milestones in the collection of PDCL’s and more.

And we are ready to face them all!
