We are thrilled to announce that we designed the cover for the November 2024 issue of Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism, which features our latest review article! The cover artwork, created together with Len Degroote / Althar.be, symbolically merges a phoenix rising from its ashes with a pancreatic islet, capturing the theme of renewal and transformation in diabetes therapy.

Willem is granted the prestigous FWO Senior Clinical Investigator Grant 2020-2025.
This grant will allow him to be half time released from his clinical duties at the UZ Brussel (service of pediatric endocrinology) to do research in molecular diabetology. The grant is allocated yearly by the FWO to well trained medical doctors and researchers who want to establish a carreer in translational research. Of the eight new laureates in 2020, Willem is the only one based at VUB and UZ Brussel.
