Each year, Clarivate honors the world's ‘Highly Cited Researchers’ – exceptional scientists whose work ranks among the top 1% most cited in their field, showcasing their groundbreaking influence on global research. This year, we're excited to announce that 21 VIB researchers have earned this prestigious recognition for their remarkable contributions to science.
The Van de Peer lab is running a joint lab at the Nanjing Agricultural University in China led by Jia-Yu Xue. Frequent student exchanges between the labs foster learning opportunities, and promote the sharing of diverse research techniques and perspectives.
The Van de Peer lab is running a joint lab in Bioinformatics and Systems Biology at the University of Pretoria in South-Africa.
We study polyploidy from various theoretical perspectives. Theory building and applying theoretical models from related field is a very valuable part of the cycle of scientific research, which complements our empirical research. By framing observations in a robust and transparent representation of the biological world, we can question our understanding in future research using our model systems.
