Welcoming Anne Muia from Kenyatta University @kenyattauni.bsky.social & NBA Kenya, as she joins us for a month of lab work; via @VIB_IPBO! @fbwugent.bsky.social
🌱 Great to be in Reno, NV, celebrating the 80th anniversary of @sivbbiology.bsky.social ! 🎉
A fantastic opportunity to learn about the latest advances in plant biotechnology & genome editing, while reconnecting with colleagues. #SIVB2026

Golden Gate 🧬 builds complex T-DNAs for plant transformation & gene editing — but what if we used it to make binary vector backbones?
Glad to contribute to Jonas De Saeger's (Jacobs lab @psb-vib.bsky.social ) preprint on BackBone Builder 🔧🌱

Last week we hosted our first workshop in the context of the #MeioCOntrol @fwovlaanderen.bsky.social anderen project! 🔬🧠 Researchers from @ILVO, De Storme lab @kuleuvenplantinst.bsky.social and Pauwels lab @mobi-ugent.bsky.social came together to learn and brainstorm about CRISPR in plants 🌿🧬
In this new paper from the Ying Wang lab in PBJ, a VIGS system for sugar beet was optimized using a BSCTV vector.

Excited to welcome first author Zhangyao Nie later this month to our lab on a CSC preference scholarship 🎓!
🎉 Great news from MoBi!
Gerard Serrat Mayayo will start as an FWO SB doctoral fellow in Prof. @laurenspauwels.bsky.social EDIT group, and Dylan Cool obtained a Baekeland mandate with Prof. Tina Kyndt (EPIC), Prof. Kris Audenaert & BASF
Congrats — we look forward to 4 exciting years! 👏
🌱 Our latest: in Plant Biotech J we study transgenerational #CRISPR editing in #maize🌽 using a split Cas9/gRNA system, highlighting importance of event quality & choice of promoters. 👏 Christian Lorenzo, Dirk Inzé and Hilde Nelissen @fbwugent.bsky.social @psb-vib.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/pbi....
First 🌽 maize plants for the #MeioCOntrol @fwovlaanderen.bsky.social project are now in soil at the @fbwugent.bsky.social greenhouses in Merelbeke 🌱 Together with ILVO and @kuleuvenplantinst.bsky.social , the EDIT group @mobi-ugent.bsky.social will use these to study meiotic recombination in crops
