I make fluorescent indicators that dynamically monitor metabolites and signaling molecules in the cell.
Now @KULeuven, previously in @DKFZ and @VIBLifeSciences.
🧪🧬 New preprint!
What if the same biosensor could reveal how cysteine is regulated across life domains?
We introduce Cystector, a genetically encoded fluorescent biosensor for real-time cysteine monitoring in living cells.

Want to monitor cysteine dynamics in real time and with subcellular resolution? Cystector plasmids are now on Addgene!

If you work on: #redoxbiology#metabolism#ferroptosis#mitochondria#biosensors
…and want to monitor cysteine dynamics in your system, Cystector might help (🧬 Plasmids soon available on Addgene!).
Happy to discuss applications or adaptations-DMs welcome!
Check out our latest research from the VIB-VUB Messens Lab🥳 In collaboration with the ULB Gurzov lab, we've applied a fluorescent biosensor to assess glycolysis and specifically quantify fructose-1,6-bisphosphate in liver cells🧪🔬 Amazing work @Israelhabanero 👏

7.Proteins
@ElizabethVeal9 It was an amazing conference! Thank you very much @ElizabethVeal9 and Carolin for the organization, we learned a lot and had a lot of fun! Looking forward to the 2026 GRC!
Thanks a lot for the invitation. We were happy to explain why catenated sulfur chain species - supersulfides matter in biology! @STakaaki26424@HozumiMotohashi@TetsuroMat25054
Small summary bellow:
Excited to share my latest review on genetically-encoded fluorescent redox biosensors! 🧬✨🧪🔬.
