Laboratory of Biodiversity & Evolutionary Genomics

It's our everyday job to study the organisms that live in the oceans🐟🐠🦐🪸. The LBEG team wishes you a happy World Ocean Day🌊🌍!

Last week several people from our lab gave presentations 🧑‍💼 at the @RBSZ3 Conference in Leiden!

Last week our colleague Tim presented his work to the Spring Symposium of @DParasitology and he won the Young Scientist presentation award! 🥳

Our lab is organizing a #Workshop on #Bioinformatics 🧑‍💻 in collaboration with @GC_Leuven and @EmbrcBelgium @EMBRC_EU You can register here: forms.gle/9Hcs7GvqW6wb2w419 The aim is to familiarize marine scientists with the possibilities of #omics applications #NGS #genomics

Our colleague Tim Maes arrived safely in #Copenhagen for a 10-week research stay 👨‍🔬 at the Dept. of Veterinary and Animal Sciences of the @UCPH_Research 🇩🇰. We wish him the best of luck #modelling the #distribution of Bulinus truncatus, vector snail 🐌 of #schistosomiasis!

Last Wednesday we had a wonderful #teambuilding experience visiting the #Collections of the @RBINSmuseum🦖🦴 in #Brussels 🇧🇪 and then competing in the #Nautilus 🛟 room of Enygma Escape Room (instagram.com/enygma.brussel…)

This nice nature documentary of the Belgica 21 expedition with 2 former alumni🧑‍🔬from our lab Henrik Christiansen @Notothen and Franz Maximilian Heindler has just been released! Available on Netflix, watch it now.

There is nothing like a good Syrian restaurant 🧆 to celebrate the New Year with colleagues!🥂🥳

We invite you to come to the mini-symposium on "Seafood tracing in Theory & Practice" on Thursday 8 September between 1pm and 7pm in the Kolenmuseum

Sure! Here it is.

After presenting her work in the Netherlands, our bioinformatician is now in France at @jobim2022 to present her poster! #jobim2022 #Bioinformatics

📢 Come see the mini-symposium on @OneHealthInst topics on June 24 at 14h in the Kolenmuseum

📢On 3rd of June 2022 @saarmaes is going to defend her PhD: "Population genomics and trophic ecology of polar cod in a changing Arctic Ocean"

Our lab is looking for a postdoc in Polar Seascape Genomics in collaboration with @RBINSmuseum . Join the polar family!

Presentation of one of the new PIs of the biology department: Piet van den Berg during the Symbiobar. He is working on human social interactions using evolutionary simulation models

📢Postdoc position on marine ecological modelling at Univ. of Leuven reopened until 31 of May. You can apply here: kuleuven.be/personeel/jobsit…

Congratulations to Emmanuel Abwe on obtaining his PhD! 🥳🎉

Emmanuel Abwe has defended his PhD this morning on the following topic: "The fish fauna of the Kundelungu National Park (Dr Congo): Diversity and Conservation" 🐟

The LBEG team wishes you all a Happy New Year 2022! 🎉
