#Microbes aren’t just cute under a microscope, they’re global problem-solvers. See it in action: sustainable farming, food tech, microbial cell factories, and more at #Microbes25. Got research pushing these boundaries? Today’s the last day, submit your abstract: vibbio.tech/4n5VSMV #VIBConf

We are excited to share another #MegabaseSpark submission, from @hannevdc.bsky.social: "Breaking Protein Interactions for Drug Discovery" (detail in reply) Like and repost if you like this idea! #SynBio #SyntheticBiology

🚨 Tired of redundant #BiosyntheticGeneCluster hits? 💥 Check out #CAGEcleaner – our new genome-level dereplication pipeline for BGC mining and comparative analysis. Works with cblaster & CAGECAT. Now out in Bioinformatics: bit.ly/3TghJEx 🔗 GitHub: bit.ly/44rNZK9 🙌 Kudos to our PhD student Lucas!

🥳 Huge congratulations to Prof. Joleen Masschelein (@masscheleinlab.bsky.social, @viblifesciences.bsky.social, @kuleuvenuniversity.bsky.social) for being awarded the 2025 EFMC Academia Prize!

The new #antiSMASH v8 paper is out in @narjournal.bsky.social! It was a pleasure helping to improve the detection of bacterial polyyne biosynthetic gene clusters. Happy mining! 🧬🔍

We are so happy to share that the 2nd Emerging Microbial Technologies conference will take place in Gent next 25th April 2025!! This edition is jointly organized by CMET_UGENT and YBSMicrobiology Follow us also on LinkedIn and X @EMT_conference

🎄✨ Festive vibes at our annual lab Christmas dinner! Great food and lots of laughter to wrap up a wonderful year of science and teamwork. Here's to more discoveries and collaborations in the year ahead! 🧫🔬

Two weeks ago, we had the pleasure to welcome @nadineziemert.bsky.social as a guest speaker at our Microbes & Booze seminar. She gave a very inspiring talk on mining genomes for new antibiotics - thanks for your visit! 💊🍻
