Scientific program
Add to calendarOn September 16, we will celebrate the grand opening of our new VIB-UGent Research building FSVM II.
Join us and discover a high-tech building for life sciences research, such as a BSL3 facility for biocontainment of airborne pathogens, unique in the Ghent research ecosystem. Hope to welcome you at 15h00 for 5 scientific talks followed by a reception at 17h45.
What to expect?
This ultramodern research building financed by VIB and Ghent University is located at the Tech Lane Ghent Science Park in Zwijnaarde and named after the Ghent biotech pioneers Fiers, Schell and Van Montagu.
FSVM II is hosting the VIB-UGent Center for Medical Biotechnology under the guidance of Nico Callewaert and is connected with the existing research building FSVM I to facilitate interaction with the VIB research Centers on Inflammation Research and Plant Systems Biology. This new building is equipped with all the necessary top-quality infrastructure for proteomics, protein engineering, experimental medicine etc. and a BSL3 facility for biocontainment of airborne pathogens, which is unique in the Ghent research ecosystem.
