@RobLavigne1 shows the impact of virulent phages on P. aeruginosa virulence factors. The PIT2 ORF
of PB1-like phage LMA2 binds the master regulator of quorum-sensing LasR, resulting in the ↘️ in export of virulence factors + attenuated virulence of PAO1 in G. mellonella. #vom2023

Today I had the chance to talk about my research at #BSVoM!

[Belgian Society for Viruses of Microbes @BSVoM_official]

The second talk of the day is given by @KSchroven! She discusses virulence attenuating proteins against P. aeruginosa.

The past & the present: LoGT edition! Reunion @ #VoM2022

[Kasia Danis-Wlodarczyk @DanisKasia]

Laboratory of Gene Technology, KU Leuven- current and previous members reunited at #VoM2022. Having @RobLavigne1 as PI was a privilege and I will always think of him as my scientific father. Thank you for everything!

@KSchroven presenting on lytic phages with virulence attenuating proteins against pseudomonas aeruginosa #VoM2022

[Kaat Schroven @KSchroven]

#vom2022, let’s get it started!
Looking forward to a week full of #phages

[Kaat Schroven @KSchroven]

@EllinorAlseth Congratulations 🥰

[Belgian Society for Viruses of Microbes @BSVoM_official]

Hi world! We are the Belgian Society for Viruses of Microbes (BSVoM in short)! Our mission is to (1) bring together Belgian stakeholders involved in basic and translational research of #viruses of #microbes, ... (1/2)

[Kaat Schroven @KSchroven]

@PaulinaDeptula @pseudomonas2021 Yes I am! Looking forward to meet you there ☺️
