Disecting bacterial persistence through experimental evolution: memory, persister physiology and the link with genetic resistance KU Leuven
A rapidly growing number of patients succumb to bacterial infections for which effective treatment is lacking. The major culprit of this lurking worldwide health crisis is the growing ability of bacteria to cope with antibiotic stress. Due to their high reproduction rates and vast population sizes, bacteria exhibit an enormous potential for evolutionary adaptation. As a consequence, antibiotic survival strategies emerge and spread at ...

A stitch in time saves nine - Developing an aquatic invasive alien species management framework based on novel eDNA methods KU Leuven
Invasive alien species (IAS) are a leading cause of global biodiversity loss, particularly in freshwater ecosystems, costing billions annually in control measures and ecological impacts. The most efficient strategy to counter IAS is to rapidly respond to incipient invasions. Because the early detection of aquatic IAS via conventional surveillance methods can be challenging, molecular tools such as environmental DNA (eDNA) are increasingly ...
The Role of Epigenetics in the Behaviour of Drosophila melanogaster KU Leuven
Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) and obesity are major health concerns of the modern world affecting approximately 8% and 11% of the global population, respectively, making it a clear medical and economic burden. T2D is a systemic dysfunction characterized by the body’s inability to respond to insulin secretion, which is key in maintaining metabolic homeostasis and preventing conditions such as hyperglycemia and glucose intolerance, both of which can ...
