- Curriculum Vitae
I was born on the 17Th of March 1979. After finishing high school in my hometown Grimbergen I went to the Vrije Universiteit Brussel to study biology. I graduated in 2002, the subject of my thesis was: Identification of antagonistic compounds of Pseudomonas fluorescens against the fungus Aspergillus flavus. Afterwards I started teaching biology in high school but after a few months I could start within a research project at the University of Antwerp so I did not hesitate and I still work here at the laboratory of Ecophysiology Biochemistry and Toxicology.
