Below, we briefly present the candidates and their project choices.
Eleonora Billi from Italy, who will work on a Ph.D.-project in the labs of Frans Van Roy (Dept. for Molecular Biomedical Research, UGent) and Jan Tavernier (Dept. of Medical Protein Research, Ghent University): Identification and functional analysis of molecular interaction partners of delta-protocadherin family members with putative roles in cancer.
Arun Kumar from India, who will work on a Ph.D.-project in the labs of Wim Annaert (Dept. of Molecular and Developmental Genetics, K.U.Leuven) and Kris Gevaert (Dept. of Medical Protein Research, Ghent University): Superparamagnetic nanoparticles for targeted subcellular proteomics and identification of novel biomarkers.
Liya Jose from India, who will work on a Ph.D.-project in the labs of Wim Robberecht (VIB Vesalius Research Center, K.U.Leuven) and Patrik Verstreken (Dept. of Molecular and Developmental Genetics, K.U.Leuven): Modeling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in flies and fish.
Joemar Taganna from The Philippines, who will work on a Ph.D.-project in the labs of Nico Callewaert (Dept. for Molecular Biomedical Research, UGent) and Han Remaut (Dept. of Molecular and Cellular Interactions, the Vrije Universiteit Brussel): Hoodwinking uropathogenic E. coli with sugar to keep them away from diabetics.
Two additional candidates from the interviewees were also recruited in a VIB laboratory: Mohamed Kamal from Egypt and Ermanoska Biljana from Macedonia. They joined the lab of promotor Vincent Timmerman (Dept. of Molecular and Cellular Interactions, the Vrije Universiteit Brussel).
