We study host-bacteria interactions using Listeria and MS-based Proteomics with a focus on Ubiquitin-like modifications (e.g. ISG15) and MHC complex peptides.

Meet SlyB, a lipoprotein that forms stress-induced #lipidraft in the bacterial outer membrane.

Off the hands of the great @ArneJanssens95 and @nguyenson85, in collaboration with @JFClab @ImpensLab and Alex Pak lab.

👏Congratulations to @kkariko & @weissmanlab on becoming #NobelPrize laureates. A lifetime achievement celebrating their important research on #mRNA technology in vaccines.
🤔Did you know VIB, together with @VUBrussel, @ugent and participation of several international institutes helped establish the #BAXERNA consortium to further explore the potential of mRNA vaccines?

[Impens Lab @ImpensLab]

We are looking for a #postdoc position in #immunopeptidomics @ VIB & UGent with proteomics/peptidomics expertise to develop novel antibacterial #vaccines, see https://t.co/JvEuYiKHSk. A warm call to proteomics postdocs to apply!
