Using chemical probes, Prof Dr Steven Verhelst and his Team study intramembrane proteases. These are associated with Alzheimer's and diabetes type II. As part of their research, the scientists develop molecular tools at ISAS.
ISAS is once again hosting PhD workshops as part of the structured doctoral training this week – a good opportunity to look back at the workshops of last year.
During her doctorate, Mona Ehlers used instrumental analytics to examine the different components of wine. Now she uses similar techniques to learn more about the increased risk of thrombosis in patients with chronic kidney disease.
