Exploring Populations of B and T Cells in Lymph Nodes of Patients Diagnosed with COVID-19 via Microscopy and Image Analysis

My work is focused on looking at the dynamics of B/T cell populations within lymph nodes from patients that had recovered from COVID-19. My role in this research was developing and implementing microscopy image analysis techniques using methods and instrumentation in part supplied by TissueGnostics.

Odyssean malaria remains a rare event but has potential serious implications

Malaria is mainly a travel-associated infection in Belgium where between 2016 and 2019, 327 to 420 cases were reported annually by the National Reference Laboratory. Local transmission is only sporadically reported.

World Malaria Day 2022: How the knockdown of P. falciparum RAP01 and RAP21 proteins could lead to novel antimalarial therapeutics

As part of World Malaria Day 2022, we interview Karine Le Roch PH.D., about her latest research into how novel antimalarial therapeutic strategies could be on the horizon, after identifying two proteins that are critical to the survival of the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum.

Novel methods for inferring the movement of brain cells during fetal development

The making of a human brain remains a mostly mysterious process that races from an embryonic neural tube to more than 100 billion interconnected neurons in the brain of a newborn. To achieve this marvel of biological engineering, the developing fetal brain must grow, on average, at a rate of roughly 250,000 nerve cells per minute throughout the course of a pregnancy.
