Laboratory of Immunology and Animal Biotechnology (UGent)
https://www.ugent.be/bw/asae/en/research/immunoanimalbiot
The laboratory for Immunology and Animal Biotechnology conducts research which is clustered among three disciplines:
  • Chlamydia spp. in animals and humans;
  • E. coli pathogens for animals and humans;
  • aquaculture.


Aquaculture is currently the fastest growing food producing sector in the world, due to the increasing demand for seafood. The larval phase of the aquaculture production cycle is however still affected by low and unpredictable survival, high susceptibility to diseases (caused e.g. by Vibrio spp.) and slow growth, all constituting bottlenecks for the sustainable expansion of aquaculture. The laboratory is studying the innate immune system of fish larvae and larvae of shrimp and mussels in order to design immunostimulants and recombinant-, DNA and mRNA vaccines for inducing innate immune memory and decreasing larval dead.
