  • We investigate the regulation of (patho)physiological processes via reversible protein phosphorylation, and explore the therapeutic potential of the kinases and phosphatases involved. Focus is on Protein Kinase D (PKD) and Protein Phosphatase 2A (PP2A), but increasingly also on broader (kinome and phosphatome wide) approaches to systematically identify kinases/phosphatases that are implicated in (patho)physiological ...

Peptides are naturally occurring molecules composed of a small number of amino acids. They control many vital functions in the organism, such as blood pressure, pain, memory, appetite, growth, ..., which make them very interesting as potential therapeutics. However, their rapid degradation and their poor oral bioavailability limits their application as drugs. Our team develops methods to make these active peptides more stable, so that their ...
