We are on a roll! 🤩 🥳
Karlijn Meerman received today at the #KNCVMCCB2026 the price for the best flash presentation! 🎉 She presented her fantastic project on #photoswitchable #peptides, carried out within our bio-subgroup.
Great job, Karlijn!
#KNCVMCCB2026 comes to an end with an interesting talk by Danielle Vugts. She talked about the importance of #imaging during #DrugDevelopment on the example of PET imaging of #biologics.

90% of compounds entering clinical development are still not making it to the clinics.
Wouter Vaes from TNO and Peregrion talked at #KNCVMCCB2026 about the importance of human metabolite profiling in drug development and how accelerator mass spectrometry can be used for this in phase 1 studies.
Interesting talk by Carla Araya-Cloutier at #KNCVMCCB2026. She talked about her group's work on prenylated phenolics as antibacterials and the study of their mechanism-of-action.
