Very happy to share the final chapter of my PhD Research with @GeertLab, now online in @NatMetabolism, revealing that the pentose phosphate pathway in #chondrocytes is crucial for ER redox homeostasis and cell survival to ensure chondrocyte functioning and bone lengthening (1/4)

As usual, teamwork makes the dreamwork and this would have not been possible without the help of @SteveStegen, @katerinarohlena, @CarmelietLab, @LambrechtsDLab and many others, as well as @FWOVlaanderen and @KU_Leuven for the funding!! (3/4)

Time-lapse of our latest asset: meet the Echo-zenoTOF (@SCIEXnews). We will move into large cohort screening with analysis time as low as 0.3 sec/sample. The Echo is currently on its way to Hamilton (@HamiltonCompany) for robotics integration @FWOVlaanderen @VIBLifeSciences

First conference, first presentation! Stellar performance by Lore Rosseels, discussing the role of the glycolytic regulator PFKFB3 during #bone development and #metabolism! #proudPI #ects2024

Last weekend, a CCB delegation cycled the #1000km of @komop_tgkanker 🚴🚴
Together with 1250 other teams, they managed to collect almost 7M EUR to support cancer research!

Amazing effort, amazing team 🤩
Thank you Bram, Shauni, Isabelle, Lars, Alexandra, Frederik en Amelie!

Last week 2 of our colleagues (Shauni and Lars) cycled to raise money for the cancer research foundation @komop_tgkanker. Together with other cyclists they raised close to 7M euro!! @VIBLifeSciences @KU_Leuven @vib_ccb

About last week's site visit @thermosci in Bremen: #technology #breakingboundaries #OrbiTRAP #singlecell. Thank you @thermosci for the hospitality and interesting discussions! Looking forward to a new era of -omics @asso_kuleuven @vib_ccb @CBD_VIB

Thanks to co-authors @TournaireGuill1 , @SteveStegen and @GeertLab for the great teamwork! Thank you @KU_Leuven and @FWOVlaanderen for the financial support! (3/3)

Happy to share that another manuscript of my PhD research was recently published in @The_JBMR: we show that different types of #skeletal #stem and progenitor cells increase proliferation in #hypoxia by rewiring glucose and amino acid #metabolism in a cell-specific manner. (1/3)

And most importantly, grateful for the amazing team I have, every step, they supported, no matter how crazy the challenge or requests I had, they joined in the endeavour. Never had so much fun in all the steps of this grant application. We are LAMaS!!Thanks!!!

Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy new mass spec(s), which is basically the same thing @vib_ccb @VIBLifeSciences #LaMaS

Congratulations @protonsponge87 (aka Marco Giampa) for obtaining a MSCA postdoctoral fellowship! Thank you so much @MSCActions and @EU_Commission for supporting a talented young researcher keen on developing new metabolomics technologies! @KU_Leuven @VIBLifeSciences @vib_ccb

[Steve Stegen @SteveStegen]

Very happy to share our latest work @GeertLab on the role of de novo #serine synthesis for #osteoclast differentiation, now online @NatMetabolism! 🥳https://t.co/OHbCTu6wGE

📢📢Hey #bone researchers! We are 20 days away from the abstract deadline for the #BonesandTeethGRS! Trainees, submit your work by Oct 22nd to be considered as a speaker. PI's, share this amazing opportunity with the trainees in your group. https://t.co/mj2kujxCX3

@SCEBP_Lab @VIBMetaboCoreLV @VIBLifeSciences @vib_ccb Thank you Christa!!

[Shauni Loopmans @SLoopmans]

Wait for ittttttt.... Very excited to announce the start of a new chapter in my academic career @VIBMetaboCoreLV ! #Metabolomics always had a special place in my heart, so I am ready to take it to the next level!! @VIBLifeSciences @vib_ccb
