The Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions of the EU offer postdoctoral fellowships to talented researchers. These MSCA fellowships provide an opportunity for young scientists to conduct research in foreign countries, gain expertise, and advance their professional pursuits. VIB is pleased to welcome 15 new Marie Curie fellows! Un unprecedented success rate.
Belgian researchers from VIB-KULeuven Center for Microbiology and VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology have developed a new toolbox of 16 different short DNA sequences that allow triggering controlled and specific recombination events in any genome. This new patented toolbox, complementing – and for certain applications surpassing – CRISPR, is now available for researchers and industry in the field of genome engineering.
Researchers from the VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology present concrete research results to lower nitrogen usage by targeting microorganisms in the soil. Their findings have been published in various scientific journals.
Gene analyses revealing the capacity of marine flowering plants to exist under changing environmental conditions provide clues for the conservation and sustainable use of important ecosystems
Prof. Yves Van de Peer has been appointed as Scientific Director of the VIB-UGent Center for Plant Systems Biology, succeeding Prof. Dirk Inzé, who recently retired from this position.
