Messens Lab

🎄🔬 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Messens Lab! 🔬🎄 For a 2025 full of ideal oxidation and reduction reactions—where everything is perfectly structured and balanced! Thank you for being part of our journey—let’s make next year reactively amazing!

The Messens lab proudly hosted: "From Lab to Life: A symphony of redox sensations"; the 15th BCRB Fall Symposium, paired for the first time with the 3rd Biosensor Brussels Symposium🎉It was a day filled with groundbreaking science, inspiring talks, and exciting collaborations🔬✨

The Messens lab shined at the Thiol-Based Redox Regulation and Signaling GRS/GRC, Spain. Julia and Shen wowed the audience with their contributions. Julia won the best talk award (GRS)🎤 Shen took the best poster prize (GRC) and an award for the best scientific question (GRS)🌟

Congratulations Dr. Caccamo🎓We are happy to announce that our colleague Anna Caccamo successfully defended her PhD thesis bringing us one step closer to fully understand APX2 function in photosynthesis🌱🔬Thank you Anna for your amazing work and best of luck in your next steps✨

Last Friday, the Brussels Center for Redox Biology celebrated its 14th Fall Symposium! Our team members Daria and Israel presented their biosensor breakthroughs👩‍🔬👨‍🔬in snowy Brussels❄️❄️ Thanks to the organizers for crafting such an exciting day! #redox #biosensors #communication

Julia from our lab delivered a stellar double performance at the Düsseldorf Meeting on Compartmentalized Redox Biology! 🎤 Her poster presentation and selected talk left us all in awe. Way to shine, Julia! 🌟🌟🌟 #redox #biology #internationalconference @juliamalopueyo

The Messens lab made a notable presence at the IMOB23 Optical Biosensors Meeting (Uppsala, Sweden). Daria and Israel's poster presentations captivated the audience, showcasing the lab's dedication to advance the field of biosensors. Thanks to all the organizers and participants!

Today, our postdoc Daria will present at the @SFRR_Europe “Emerging Leaders” webinar at 15:00 CET. Don’t miss it if you want to hear the latest news about “Fluorescent protein-based redox biosensors: the aspects less considered”! #redox #biosensors #communication

@Israelhabanero presented today his research at the Leuven Biosensor Symposium. Thank you Israel for your interesting talk and to the audience for the fruitful discussion! #biosensors #redox #sciencecommunication
