Vandaag hadden wij zijn 46e verjaardag met de nodige grappen en steken moeten kunnen vieren, maar helaas zal Stijn voor altijd 42 blijven. #voorStijn

Day 1 of my favorite conference of the year #EHA2025 in Milan, very happy to see my #TRTH friends again and almost experienced death by tiramisu. I am so ready for day 2 (the official start of the conference!)

On my way to #EHA2025 by train 🚆 from Leuven. First stops: Brussels 🇧🇪 and Paris 🇫🇷 - Boarding a direct train to Milan 🇮🇹 soon!
It’s slow(er) travel compared to flying, but very comfortable! I’m looking forward to the views from the window while traveling through the alps 🏞️🚠

Last week, I presented my research on epigenetics in hematopoietic stem cells in the ‘Scientists on Stage’ session at the #VIBseminar2025.

Working with this bunch of lovely enthusiastic constructive colleagues from all over VIB was a great experience! Congrats Pauline Bardet with your award!

Happy Polycomb Day (3/27)! Today we celebrate H3K27me3- Polycomb’s quiet mark of repression, where gene silencing is not neglect, but a deliberate act of identity.
