Today ⁦IRC - VIB/UGent⁩ BD is installing the first spectral Imaging Flow sorter in the world. We’ve been beta testing for 2 years. Allows you to sort cells based on 50+ colours simultaneously with image analysis. ⁦VIB Flow Core Ghent⁩

Happy to share our paper : STE20 kinase TAOK3 regulates type 2 immunity and metabolism in obesity ⁦Journal of Experimental Medicine⁩ This kinase keeps on surprising us. Also affects marginal zone B cells and cDC2 by regulating Notch2. Stay tuned for future work on ILC1…. rupress.org/jem/article/22…

So cool! Congratulations Gert! We are all super proud of you and the work your team does for the VIB Flow Core Ghent. You keep us at the forefront of Flow Cytometry!

Today, VIB is proud to announce the appointment of @steinaerts as the Scientific Director of the VIB Center for Computational Biology and AI. This new research center will focus on quantitative life science research. Find out more👇 vibbio.tech/3NsDnBX

Check out our new preprint on protein crystals in murine asthma. Fascinating that some proteins crystallize for a cause in type 2 immunity. dlvr.it/SrdnXr

Only 2 weeks left until the Early Bird🐦 deadline of 5 September for #EMDS2023. Register now and let these key researchers widen your horizons in the exciting fields of #Macrophages and #DendriticCells! More info👀: vibbio.tech/47FWlyz

Our new paper is out : A complement atlas identifies IL6–dependent alternative pathway dysregulation as a key druggable feature of COVID-19 | Science Translational Medicine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… it has a very cool interactive website to mine the data !

This will be a fun project for a motivated student willing to work at the boundaries of cell biology, immunology and microbiology.

In 1 hour, I’m going to give a talk #globalimmuno October 4th at 9am PST, noon EST, 4pm GMT Title: “Protein crystals as drivers of immunity” LINK: ucsd.zoom.us/j/91053505061 It’s about our newest work in type 2 immunity. All things crystals,…. Q&A after

Max Krummel giving the final talk #emds2023. So many novel concepts ! #immunox

This is so true, also for PIs

Check out our new paper on protein crystals driving Th2 immunity doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… eLife - the journal A refreshing way of peer review at eLife. Authors can better control how many new experiments they want to do in response to comments raised, without fear of rejection.

Our experience with eLife new publishing model has been great. We’re working already on our next submission. youtu.be/MdUApzoelFY?si…

🎉 Congratulations to Bart Lambrecht for receiving an European Research Council (ERC) Proof of Concept grant to develop an innovative imaging technique to study crystals in asthmatic airways. #ERCPoC vibbio.tech/4cp6ema

We describe that Il-9 and Il-21 have partially overlapping and synergistic effects in asthma. Check out doi.org/10.1016/j.jaci… Nice collab with Benjamin Medoff in MGH and argenx Revive Il-9 !

Have a look at our new #preprint on Research Square: Early life RSV infection as a preventable risk factor for asthma researchsquare.com/article/rs-536… Contains epidemiology on entire Danish population, 24000 hospital admissions for RSV and causality experiments in mouse model
