Short biography


Sarah Vluymans obtained her Master degree in Mathematical Informatics at Ghent University in 2014. Currently, she is a Ph.D student at Ghent University and is part of the DAMBI research group at the Inflammation Research Centre (IRC) of the Flemish Institute for Biotechnology. Her research is funded by the Special Research Fund (BOF) of Ghent University. She is also enrolled at the University of Granada in Spain and is working towards a joint Ph.D between this institution and Ghent University.
