Recent press releases
Movements of proteins can be predicted from their amino acid sequence
25 November 2013
Researchers of the VIB department of Structural Biology and the ‘Interuniversity Institute of Bioinformatics in Brussels (IB2)’, have developed a method to predict how much the backbone chain of a protein moves based on only its amino acid sequence.
Why plants usually live longer than animals
24 October 2013
Plant researchers at VIB and Ghent University discovered a new step in the complex regulation of stem cells. Today, their results are published online in this week’s issue of Science Express.
New breakthroughs in TNF biology
19 September 2013
Two new stories from the group of Claude Libert (VIB - UGent) increase our knowledge about the mechanism of TNF release, the role of the gutin TNF’s acute toxicity and the value of TNFR1 as adrug target.
Flemish scientist Nico Callewaert (VIB-UGent) in Top 20 Translational Researchers
11 September 2013
Nico Callewaert (VIB/UGent) is the only Belgian in the “Top 20 translational researchers”. He was selected partly due to his research into converting cells into medicine factories.
ERC awards €2.22 million to Yves Van de Peer for his innovative Advanced Grant proposal DOUBLE-UP
27 June 2013
”This exceptional grant will allow me to think out of the box (ERC projects have to be high risk-high gain) and explore less obvious ways of addressing major questions in evolutionary biology.
7-12 July, 2013 - Conference on Intracellular RNA Localization & Localized Translation - Ontario, Canada
5 June 2013
This meeting provides a unique opportunity to bring together researchers with common interests in RNA transport, localization and localized translation in a wide range of experimental systems.
25-31 August, 2013 - RNA and the Etiology of Brain Disease - Cortona, Italy

Defect in A20 gene expression causes rheumatoid arthritis
16 August 2011
In Nature Genetics, VIB-UGent researchers demonstrate that a defect in the expression of the A20 gene can contribute to the development of rheumatoid arthritis in mice, identifying A20 as a target for the generation of new drugs.
VIB scientists win DREAM-5 for systems biology
18 March 2011
The DREAM is the most important benchmark for the comparison of computational models used in systems biology. Among all the top labs, their test was unanimously rated the overall best performer based on a number of gold standard data sets.
New insights into cancer treatment
15 March 2011
Cop1 has –for a long time - been seen as an attractive drug target for cancer. But Jean-Christophe Marine found out that Cop1 acts as a tumor suppressor. His new data will have direct implications for the development of cancer drug targets.
VIB-K.U.Leuven scientist Kevin Verstrepen develops a tailor-made yeast for beer with more flavour
19 January 2011
“We want you to create a strain of yeast for a very special kind of beer. It has to have a lot character, but it shouldn't be too heavy.” This was beer brewer Bart Landuyt's assignment for the lab of Kevin Verstrepen, one of VIB's yeast specialists.
