Yesterday, the FunGen lab was present @ the Marguerite-Marie Delacroix's Conference on "Current Directions in Autism Research and NDDs". @Norevanloon rocked her poster presentation concerning organoids & @eva_dhaene gave an excellent talk on @colombolara_ her 3D genome research.
The FunGen lab was well represented at two great conferences in the last two weeks: @Norevanloon went to the EMBO workshop in Capri, IT and @colombolara_ went to Chromatin Dynamics in Munich, GER. They both rocked their poster presentation 😎! Go Team FunGen 💪🥳!
Hooray, last week we had our first 2-day lab retreat and it was awesome 🔥! Great combination of science and fun. Big shout out to the entire team for making it such a great experience🤩 and a special thanks to @eva_dhaene and @MichaelBVaughan for all the help!
Busy, busy, busy so a little late to the party... Congratulations 🥳👏 to our own PhD student @Norevanloon for obtaining a prestigious @FWOVlaanderen PhD fellowship! Happy she can keep on working on our shared project with @PhotoBioLab ! Go, go, go Nore!
Throwback to last week: On Tuesday @Norevanloon gave a talk at @maf2024_spain concerning our collaborative work with @PhotoBioLab. On Thursday @hamerlinck_lisa and @SVergult presented at the 2nd NDD conference in lovely Antwerp with great support by colleague @colombolara_.
Working in Ghent, also means (Fun)Gentse Feesten 🥳! A little bit of 🌧️ does not stop us 💪 #TeamFunGen
Team BBQ ✅! No prove needed what the 'FUN' stands for in the FunGen lab 😋😜!
👏Today @KeithSiew gave an excellent talk on his recent @NatureComms paper on the effects of spaceflight on kidneys 👏. He got the @FunGenLab team (even more) excited about space research 🚀🧬🚀. Thanks a lot @MichaelBVaughan for inviting him and arranging all the logistics!

Throwback to last Friday: FunGenLab represent @BSCDB1 meeting 'Focus on Organoids' in Leuven, Belgium. Very inspiring talks!
We were lucky to have a great scientific visitor in the lab! 👇🤩

Throwback to last Friday: Team FunGen was well-represented at the yearly @BeSHGenet meeting. 🎉Great job @eva_dhaene, @RocioPerezBaca and @hamerlinck_lisa 👏👏! Lisa even scored a cool poster prize 🌟!! Congrats to our great @RAREMED1 and @cmggent colleagues too!
After a 6 yr long journey, we ended the diagnostic oddysey for many individuals with ZFHX3 loss of function variants. It was a fantastic journey with many international and wonderful colleagues! Great collaboration with @SVergult and @FunGenLab! There's more to come! @AJHGNews
Congratulations to @Norevanloon from our and @FunGenLab teams! Thanks to @histochemnews @FWOVlaanderen and @BioimagingNA funding she will attend #FRET #FLIM #MetabolicImaging workshop this year! A big boost to her #neural #organoids #FOXG1 research project!

Ending one of the best weekends ever. Thx @malte_spielmann , @SVergult and @MarianRosL for joining my PhD evaluation committee, it was a true privilege. Thx Alvaro for your guidance and thx to all @RadaIglesiasLab members, family & friends for their support. Love you all ♥️
📢 If you would like to study the nuclear control of mitochondrial DNA at the single-cell level in various model systems (in particular mouse, Drosophila, and patient iPSC-derived brain organoids) and combine this with bio-informatics, go and check out these job vacancies 👇👇
