Overview of available domains of expertise in the project team
Our research team has experience in biochemistry, molecular biology, plant biotechnology, basic bioinformatics, and immunology.
Comments on the expertise sought for at level of the Flemish HEIs
Molecular diagnostic methods based on the CRISPR/Cas system and other innovative and modern methods.- Multipurpose bioassay platforms (for the bioprospection of antiparasitic and antiviral bioactive compounds, etc).
Mass propagation methods for wooden and herbaceous plants.
Multiomic analysis, experts in bioinformatics and genetic improvers with experience in the use of CRISPR/Cas technology among other modern and eco-friendly methods will be required.
Cellular/molecular biosensors for environmental quality monitoring
For the development of bioremediation systems for environments polluted with oil and heavy metals.
