A collaborative publication has emerged from a scientific collaboration between the ULB Diabetes Center and the IRIBHM JE Dumont. Congratulations to both research institutions for this significant achievement. 🎉👏🧪 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Happy Birthday, Rosalind Franklin. She captured an X-ray diffraction image of DNA and stated that a helical structure was probable. Watson and Crick then created a detailed model based on her results. They initially received credit for the discovery and were awarded the Nobel Prize after her death.🧪

Very promising news on the next seven-year EU budget, with a proposed substantial increase for Horizon Europe including the ERC. We are analysing the other parts of this proposal in more detail. @Vonderleyen @EZaharievaEU research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/news/all-res...

Today, on ‘Be Open about Animal Research Day’, we spotlight how research with zebrafish brings us closer to healthier hearts. #BOARD25 Sharing about 80% of heart disease–causing genes with humans, the zebrafish is an excellent model to study how hearts develop, become diseased and might regenerate.

Une catastrophe pour les universités américaines: « L’intérêt des étudiants internationaux pour les Etats-Unis a déjà décliné», observe @mariusgilbert.bsky.social« Même sans interdiction formelle, beaucoup reconsidèrent leur choix, et ça, c’est un mouvement profond. » www.lesoir.be/677471/artic...

What's happening in the US scientific community concerns us all. A good summary by @mariusgilbert.bsky.social, our vice-rector for research:

What do Europeans think of science and technology? - 83% believe science and tech have a positive impact, - 67% say science makes life easier, healthier and more comfortable, - 58% want to learn more about scientific advances. Find out more in the new Eurobarometer. ec.europa.eu/commission/p...
