NGTs can provide us with plants which are climate resilient, require reduced input of pesticides/fertilizers and/or possess higher nutritional value. The possibilities with NGTs are endless and can lead us to a green future! #GiveGenesAChance @GeneSprout @oekoprog @letsreplanet

With cutting-edge omics technologies the @GoossensLabVIB uncovered an exciting novel function of the RolB protein. A very nice and rewarding collaboration which started six years ago when some labs joint forces to study the interaction between tomato and rhizogenic agrobacteria.

Together with my first PhD student @RodriguesSav and his co-supervisor @LaurensPauwels we aimed at optimizing the generation of #Agrobacterium mutants in order to study their interaction with plants. So happy to see our work being published. pnas.org/content/118/2/e2013…

Being a PI can be sometimes stressful, especially when projects are not immediately granted. However, having a very nice group with amazing people makes up for a lot. I do think that they want me to relax a little bit more 😊
