📢 Speaker Announcement 📢 Next week, Jerome Van Biervliet, our Managing Director at VIB, will be speaking at BioCentury’s Grand Rounds R&D Conference in Nashville. 🗓 9th – 11th September 2024 📍Four Seasons Hotel Nashville 🎫 https://lnkd.in/eUw2QxKv This event brings together life sciences leaders to tackle the roadblocks in translating cutting-edge science into groundbreaking new medicines. 🙌 Jérôme will join a dynamic panel of biopharma execs, VCs and academic leaders, to discuss Closing the Innovation Gap: Partnerships for Next-Gen Treatments. He will share his insights on how we can all work together to bring the next generation of breakthrough treatments to market—within years, not decades. VIB’s mission is to push the boundaries of scientific discovery, transform it into disruptive biotech innovations and support the growth of the life sciences ecosystem in Flanders (Belgium). #GrandRounds #BiotechBreakthroughs #researchdevelopment #academia #venturecapital #biotech #drugdiscovery #drugdevelopment #RnD #BioCenturyGrandRounds
About us
VIB’s core mission is to generate disruptive insights in the molecular underpinning of life and to translate these actively into impactful innovations for patients and society. VIB is an independent research institute where some 1,800 top scientists from Belgium and abroad conduct pioneering basic research. As such, they are pushing the boundaries of what we know about molecular mechanisms and how they rule living organisms such as human beings, animals, plants, and microorganisms. Based on a close partnership with five Flemish universities – Ghent University, KU Leuven, University of Antwerp, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, and Hasselt University – and supported by a solid funding program, VIB unites the expertise of all its collaborators and research groups in a single institute. VIB’s technology transfer activities translate research results into concrete benefits for society such as new diagnostics and therapies and agricultural innovations. These applications are often developed by young start-ups from VIB or through collaborations with other companies. This also leads to additional employment and bridges the gap between scientific research and entrepreneurship. VIB also engages actively in the public debate on biotechnology by developing and disseminating a wide range of science-based information

In the BePa@VIB Proteomics Summer School, we took a deep dive into the fascinating world of proteomics. An extensive team of #proteomics experts went through the complete proteomics workflow from sample preparation, over data acquisition to data analysis. Big thanks to An Staes, Francis Impens, Tine Claeys, Enrico Massignani, Pathmanaban Ramasamy, Daria Fijałkowska, Kris Gevaert, Sven Eyckerman, Simon Devos, Marcel Bühler, and Esperanza Fernandez for providing clear lectures and smooth hands-on sessions. Also, a big shout-out to the VIB Proteomics Core for the interesting tour of their facility. #VIBTraining
Grateful to have been able to introduce such an enthusiastic group of people into proteomics at our BePA@VIB Proteomics Summerschool! Hope to see you all again in the future! #BepaaaaaSmile 😎 😁 #BepaSS2024
