Expertise

  1. Quorum Sensing Peptiden als bioactieve moleculen (biomarkers, medicijnen): (bio)analyse, doelinteractie, farmacodynamiek en farmacokinetiek (receptor, cel, weefsel/orgaan, knaagdier).
  2. Kwaliteitsanalyse van medicijnen, vooral met behulp van LC-UV/MS-technieken.

Biografie

Amélie Descamps received a Master degree in Drug Development in 2019 at Ghent University with great distinction, having performed her master research at the University of Girona about the SPPS synthesis of quorum sensing peptides. She is currently conducting PhD research at the DruQuaR laboratory aiming to elucidate the role of bacterial quorum sensing peptides in sarcopenia. Amélie Descamps mainly investigates their presence in mice and human bio-fluids to evaluate their biological relevance.
