Van 30 mei - 1 juni vindt in Hulst het festival #VESTROCK plaats.
Op VESTROCK UNIVERSITY zal ik, net als andere UGent’ers (Ernst Koster, Nele Vandersickel en Tijl De Bie), een bijdrage leveren.
No worries: geen zang, wel een lezing mbt toxicologie 😉.

Interesting visit to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of San Francisco earlier today.
Truly impressive.
Thanks good colleague & friend Luke Rodda (& team!) for the kind hospitality!

(Re)submitted a research project to the Fund for Scientific Research, #FWO @fwovlaanderen.bsky.social, from high in the sky - above Canada - on my way to San Francisco & Portland (#ASPET).
🙌 to my postdoc Marthe Vandeputte for taking the lead in writing!
Let's hope it'll be warmly received 😉.

And the #ResearchDay2025 #ugent was also the moment when prizes for the best PhD of 2024 of the respective Faculties were awarded.
Proud that Marthe Vandeputte was the recipient of the PhD Thesis Prize from the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences!
👏👏👏

Hans Nauwynck enthusiastically opening the @ugent #ResearchDay2025, a joint initiative of the Fac. of Veterinary Sciences (this year's host), Fac. of Medicine and Health Sciences, and Fac. of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
Up to a day of #ugent research & networking!

In Torino for the PhD defense of Christina Ververi (on microsampling applications in toxicology) & to provide a lecture on "Dried blood microsamples
in toxicology & therapeutic drug monitoring:
applications & automation".
Good to meet with TIAFT colleagues Alberto Salomone (promotor) & Luca Morini!

Must admit that I do like all-weather-bike-to-the-lab-rides ❄️❄️❄️

Wishing you a year filled with kindness and glassatleasthalffullness 🥂!

Best wishes for a prosperous 2025 from the Team of the #UGent #UGent_Pharma Laboratory of Toxicology!
