The VIB Center for Inflammation Research (IRC) is seeking 2–3 outstanding scientists to establish independent research groups in inflammation biology! We are looking for innovative scientists who will both complement and expand the expertise at the IRC: jobs.vib.be/j/124985/pri...

The 5th Ghent Gut Inflammation Group Meeting #GGIG2025 is live! 🚨 Hosted by Ghent University & VIB, this 2-day event spotlights junior scientists in gut research. Great start with Jochem Bernink of @amsterdamumc.bsky.social on immune-mediated regeneration in the gut! More info: vibbio.tech/GGIG2025

Happy to see this finally published 🙌 Thanks to the editors and reviewers for the constructive process 😎

🔬 New review out in Trends in Microbiology! Together with @MaudeJans , we explore the physiological factors driving pks+ E. coli expansion and colibactin exposure in colorectal cancer. read the full story: kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F... #ColorectalCancer #Ecoli #Genotoxins

🚨 Early bird registration deadline for the upcoming GGIG meeting is tomorrow (April 16)! Great chance to dive into mucosal immunology, the gut microbiome & reated topics: 🔗 www.vibconferences.be/events/5th-g... #GGIG2025 #mucosalimmunology #microbiome

Abstract deadline for #GGIG2025 is approaching fast! Don’t miss your chance to share your research at the 5th Ghent Gut Inflammation Group Meeting! 🧬🦠 www.vibconferences.be/events/5th-g...

In our lates review, we explore new insights into the gut-joint axis, a connection is not absolute. A causal role for the microbiota is context-dependent, and arthritis can also arise independently through sterile mechanisms: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kkn55Eb0R... #GutJointAxis

🚨 Join the 5th GGIG Meeting on 15-16 May 2025 in Ghent, highlighting the latest advances in intestinal biology & host-microbe interactions. Honoured to have Prof. Emma Slack as keynote speaker, and may top-stories from leading scientists in the field. 🦠🔬 www.vibconferences.be/events/5th-g...
