Between April 4th and 8th, we welcomed delegates from overall Europe on a Workshop on Ion Channels, organized in the framework BioInspire Sensing, a Marie Skłodowska-Curie training network in which our lab participates, and is aimed at researchers with limited background in the different aspects of ion channel research/electrophysiology.  

Rudi Vennekens has a new paper out on TRPM4 - a collaboration with colleagues from the universities of Debrecen and Szeged. Congratulations to the entire team!

From Sept 15 to 17, we're welcoming the TRP community to Leuven at the fourth TRP meeting - the first edition that goes hybrid. Registrations have now closed and we are the making final preparations to turn this into an unforgettable scientific event!

Did you know that about 1 in 5 people are confronted with symptoms of lower urinary tract dysfunction? Proud to present our latest work, the development of videocystometry to monitor lower urinary tract (dys)function in rodents with unprecedented detail. 

New @JoVEJournal publication describes how to follow up urinary tract infections using bioluminescence imaging. Congrats @luytsnoemie et al!

Even in lockdown, our (virtual) doors stay open. Explore our lab space and facilities in a new virtual tour of our research center.

In a cool short explainer video by science center Technopolis, Frone explains why we feel hot when we eat spicy food, and what this has to do with TRP receptors.

Our new findings on how the upregulation of TRPM3 causes hypersensitivity in inflamed tissue are out in eLife. Congratulations to Marie Mulier et al.!
