We mainly study type 2 immunity in asthma, but follow where biology takes us. Role of protein crystals in disease is our new thing.
Our new story is out in JEM !
By recruiting Th2 effector cells, #basophils are back as key players in #asthma, according to Schuijs, Brenis Gomez et al. @bart_lambrecht lab @ugent: hubs.la/Q02QsRTJ0 #LymphocyteBiology #InnateImmunity #inflammation #MucosalImmunology
We describe that Il-9 and Il-21 have partially overlapping and synergistic effects in asthma. Check out doi.org/10.1016/j.jaci… Nice collab with @BenjaminMedoff in MGH and @argenxglobal Revive Il-9 !
Happy new year, this paper just made it for 2024. Thanks to hard efforts of all in the lab. A new way to select clones for generating TCR transgenic mice, no cloning involved doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… @eLife
Congrats @StijnVerwaerde for getting an EMDS prize. Stay tuned for his work on alveolar macrophages and transcriptional of their identity

🙌 Congratulations to the 21(!) VIB scientists on the @Clarivate Highly Cited Researchers list for scholars whose work ranks among the top 1% most cited in their field! Read more ➡️ vibbio.tech/3Okld6r
Have a look at our new #preprint on @researchsquare: Early life RSV infection as a preventable risk factor for asthma researchsquare.com/article/rs-536… Contains epidemiology on entire Danish population, 24000 hospital admissions for RSV and causality experiments in mouse model
🎉 Congratulations to Bart Lambrecht for receiving an @ERC_Research Proof of Concept grant to develop an innovative imaging technique to study crystals in asthmatic airways. #ERCPoC vibbio.tech/4cp6ema
Our experience with eLife new publishing model has been great. We’re working already on our next submission. youtu.be/MdUApzoelFY?si…
Check out our new paper on protein crystals driving Th2 immunity doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… @eLife A refreshing way of peer review at eLife. Authors can better control how many new experiments they want to do in response to comments raised, without fear of rejection.
This is so true, also for PIs
Out today in @NatureBiotech! PhD students & postdocs: there's a trick – overlooked and underused – for having new ideas in the creative process. Talk science 1 on 1 with a science buddy that you trust and think of it as an improvisation. nature.com/articles/s4158…… @MartinJLercher
Max Krummel giving the final talk #emds2023. So many novel concepts ! #immunox
In 1 hour, I’m going to give a talk #globalimmuno October 4th at 9am PST, noon EST, 4pm GMT Title: “Protein crystals as drivers of immunity” LINK: ucsd.zoom.us/j/91053505061 It’s about our newest work in type 2 immunity. All things crystals,…. Q&A after
This will be a fun project for a motivated student willing to work at the boundaries of cell biology, immunology and microbiology.
We're hiring! The Hendrix lab is recruiting a #PhD candidate funded by @ERC_Research to explore #ExtracellularVesicles in #cancer together with @bart_lambrecht. Interested to work on this exciting project @ugent @crighent @VIBLifeSciences ? Read & apply: ugent.be/en/work/scient…
Only 2 weeks left until the Early Bird🐦 deadline of 5 September for #EMDS2023. Register now and let these key researchers widen your horizons in the exciting fields of #Macrophages and #DendriticCells! More info👀: vibbio.tech/47FWlyz
Our new paper is out : A complement atlas identifies IL6–dependent alternative pathway dysregulation as a key druggable feature of COVID-19 | Science Translational Medicine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… it has a very cool interactive website to mine the data !
Check out our new preprint on protein crystals in murine asthma. Fascinating that some proteins crystallize for a cause in type 2 immunity. dlvr.it/SrdnXr
Today, VIB is proud to announce the appointment of @steinaerts as the Scientific Director of the VIB Center for Computational Biology and AI. This new research center will focus on quantitative life science research. Find out more👇 vibbio.tech/3NsDnBX
So cool! Congratulations Gert! We are all super proud of you and the work your team does for the @VIBFlowCoreGT. You keep us at the forefront of Flow Cytometry!
Exciting news from the @VIBFlowCoreGT! They welcomed the brand-new advanced @BDBiosciences #FacsDiscoverS8 cell sorter with serial number 1️⃣. ▶️ vibbio.tech/3NqGCtR This cutting-edge technology will revolutionize the way we study cells, opening up incredible possibilities…
Happy to share our paper : STE20 kinase TAOK3 regulates type 2 immunity and metabolism in obesity @JExpMed This kinase keeps on surprising us. Also affects marginal zone B cells and cDC2 by regulating Notch2. Stay tuned for future work on ILC1…. rupress.org/jem/article/22…
Today @InflamResCen BD is installing the first spectral Imaging Flow sorter in the world. We’ve been beta testing for 2 years. Allows you to sort cells based on 50+ colours simultaneously with image analysis. @VIBFlowCoreGT
