Laboratory of Pharmaceutical Microbiology
Mission statement
-
The Laboratory of Pharmaceutical Microbiology at Ghent University carries out research on microbial biofilms and host-microbe interactions in clinically relevant contexts, and this at an internationally recognised level. More specifically, we aim to obtain a better understanding of fundamental biological processes governing biofilm formation and tolerance to antimicrobial agents, and host-microbe interactions, and to contribute to the development of innovative pharmaceutical interventions for infectious and inflammatory diseases.
-
To achieve this goal we are committed to creating an environment in which researchers and students can optimally perform in an intellectually stimulating atmosphere of mutual respect.
-
We believe in a collaborative approach to science and foster collaborations between our team and researchers worldwide.
-
We are dedicated to the teaching and training of the next generation of professionals and scientists.
