PI of the Functional Genomics lab (https://fungenlab-ugent.be/) at Ghent University.

Elucidating the genetics of neurodevelopmental disorders.

Special interest in the role of the non-coding genome during neurodevelopment.
Last Friday, I had the privilege to present the latest FunGen Lab work at the Symposium of the Marguerite Marie Delacroix Foundation.

This symposium brings together researchers working on neurodevelopmental disorders, creating an inspiring environment.

Grateful to be part of this community 🌟.

Excellent talk by my colleague @elfridedebaere.bsky.social on cis regulatory elements in eye diseases at #eshg25. If you did not attend her session, I highly recommend to watch it on the virtual platform. Enhanceropathies research at Ghent University is on 🔥

🌟 Yesterday, the FunGen lab was present @ the Marguerite-Marie Delacroix's Conference on "Current Directions in Autism Research and NDDs". 🌟

Nore rocked her poster presentation concerning organoids & @eedhaene.bsky.social gave an excellent talk on our 3D genome research.

👏 Go Team FunGen! 👏
