T-minus 4 hours and counting!

Looking forward to our first Isala symposium on the occasion of the PhD defense of Sarah Ahannach ! Great speaker line up with jacquesravel as keynote! Thanks European Research Council (ERC) FWO VLIRUOS UAntwerpen for funding! @BirUantwerpen

Stay tuned for more exciting fermented foods and gut health research from our lab!!

Check out our new review exploring the fascinating implications of electroactive bacteria in human, animal, plant and food microbiomes. academic.oup.com/femsre/advance…

Very excited! So many great citizen projects in the EU! That our Isala project has won is so amazing! Have to thank so many people: all women participating, the team making this happening, all supporters, European Research Council (ERC) & FWO UAntwerpen funding ! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

What better way is there to bond as a lab than a snowshoe hike through the high Sierra! It’s May in CA and still lots of snow to be found.

Getting ready for some fermented foods at the ASM microbe meeting! Hoping for lots of audience participation!

It’s the first day of ISAPP 2023! There is a great mix of industry, students, and academic faculty and naturally lots of discussion.
