The journey in science never stops. Now, it goes further west.
The Research Foundation Flanders (FWO) has recently awarded me with a postdoctoral fellowship! From January 2018 I will be proudly joining the Laboratory of Bioinorganic Chemistry at KU Leuven, led by Prof. Dr. Parac-Vogt.
In Leuven as part of the team of Prof. Parac-Vogt I will be developing a new generation of artificial proteases made of inorganic materials. The new type of materials that we will be developing will aim towards applications in designing selective and accurate analytical methods that are urgently needed in life sciences.
The news on the postdoctoral fellowship are delightful considering that the FWO foundation awards only the top 20% of the postdoctoral proposals. The proposal on artificial inorganic proteases was further reviewed as one of the top in chemistry from the panel of experts.
I am looking forward to joining the group of Prof. Dr. Parac-Vogt and on developing good and promising work over the next three years.
