- Department: Diabetes Pathology & Therapy
- University: Vrije Universiteit Brussel
- Academic Rank: Professor
Research Interests: His work explores genetic risk factors, AMP-activated protein kinase pathways, and immune regulation in Type 1 Diabetes. Key areas include autoimmune progression, islet cell protection, and clinical genetics of diabetes.
Article Trends: Recent publications emphasize predictive modeling in diabetes progression, non-HLA genetic variants, and sexual dimorphism in autoimmune responses. Collaborations with the Belgian Diabetes Registry highlight subgroup-specific research.
Scientific Awards:
- European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) Fellowship (2011)
Advising and Grants: Supervised 24 student theses, including master’s projects on HLA genotypes and CTLA4 polymorphisms. Secured grants for projects like FWOAL697 and IWT383, focusing on beta-cell protection and in vitro expansion.
