Recent press releases
VIB research on plant peptides in the limelight: Special Issue of JXB 'Plant Peptides – Taking them to the next level'
18 August 2016
In a Special Issue of Journal of Experimental Botany, edited by Barbara De Coninck (VIB-KU Leuven) and Ive De Smet (VIB-UGent), plant peptides take central stage.
Normalizing tumor oxygen supply could be key factor in the fight against cancer
17 August 2016
The lack of oxygen in tumor cells changes the cells’ gene expression, thereby contributing to the growth of cancer. This is the main conclusion of a research project led by professor Diether Lambrechts and Dr. Bernard Thienpont (VIB-KU Leuven).
Bio Imaging Core offers brand-new Transmission Electron Microscope
13 August 2016
A new Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) was inaugurated at the Institute for Nuclear Science. The acquisition of this remarkable instrument was made possible by the collaborative investment of several VIB departments and academic research groups.
CRISPR: Biotech breakthrough, IP battle and ethics questions of the century
11 August 2016
Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier’s development of CRISPR/Cas, a revolutionary DNA-slicing tool that allows the precision mix-and-matching of genes, won them USD 3 million each, with a Nobel Prize likely in their future.
New breakthrough in understanding dystonia
9 August 2016
Researchers at VIB-KU Leuven have managed to get a clearer view on the roots of dystonia, a neurological disorder that causes involuntary twisting movements.
VIB Alumni: Paul Van Hummelen
7 August 2016
Paul Van Hummelen founded the VIB MicroArray Facility, now part of the VIB Nucleomics Core, in 1999. Paul is currently Associate Director at the Center for Cancer Genome Discovery (CCGD)
Technological evolutions in plant transformation
30 July 2016
Transformation is an essential tool for functional analysis of genes in model organisms, such as Arabidopsis and maize, and thus essential in the VIB Department of Plant Systems Biology, UGent.
Interesting news from VIB Medical Biotechnology Center UGent

The labs of Jan Tavernier, Kris Gevaert and Sven Eyckerman from the VIB Medical Biotechnology Center, UGent tackle some of the most fundamental life sciences questions in their research into the detection and analysis of protein-protein interaction.
VIB science in groundbreaking DNA sequencing technology
23 July 2016
A collaboration between VIB and Oxford Nanopore Technologies has led to the development of a new key element of state-of-the-art DNA sequencing tools. The lab of Han Remaut conducted groundbreaking research on a pore protein.
Novel component in pin recycling steers auxin-mediated development
18 July 2016
At the VIB Department of Plant Systems Biology, UGent, scientists identified the ROTUNDA3 protein as a regulator of the protein phosphatase 2A-driven PIN-FORMED recycling
VIB scientists develop best methods for automated flow cytometry analysis
16 July 2016
Flow cytometry has been widely used by immunologists and cancer biologists for more than 30 years as a biomedical research tool to distinguish different cell types in mixed populations based on the expression of cellular markers.
Promising new insights into ALS
14 July 2016
Research into amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) conducted by VIB-KU Leuven has led to interesting and unexpected conclusions. This research was conducted in the VIB Laboratory of Neurobiology, led by professors Ludo Van Den Bosch and Wim Robberecht.
