I am a biochemist & bio-informatician working in phytobacteriology at the Plant Sciences Unit of ILVO, the Flanders Research Institute for Agricultural, Fisheries and Food Research. The focus is on genomics-based research and diagnostics for Plant Health.

My expertise is 'wet-lab' work (microbiology, sequencing, molecular biology, design & validation of diagnostics assays using qPCR/LAMP, automatisation) and 'dry-lab' work such as bio-informatics/data analysis (e.g. scripting analysis ...

I am a PhD student working the group of Zoya Ignatova. Cellular and extracellular changes like crowding and osmotic stress conditions play a major role in protein aggregation. A change in the cytoplasmic composition is the result of an interplay between high osmotic pressures outside the cell volume and the cellular response to it in terms of uptake of K+ and secondary organic osmolytes. My research focuses on elucidating the role of natural osmolytes (known also as chemical chaperones or compatible ...
