CANS-seminar: Carbon sources and marine natural products as anti-biofilm agents

Tom Coenye leads the Laboratory of Pharmaceutical Microbiology at Ghent University (Belgium) where research is focused on microbial biofilm formation, novel strategies to prevent biofilm formation and the molecular basis of tolerance and resistance in biofilms. In addition, he is working on novel approaches for rapid detection and susceptibility testing in the context of biofilm-related infections.

He has co-authored over 340 scientific papers and since 2019 he has been included on Clarivate’s annual list of Highly Cited Researchers.

He is past-chair of the Study Group for Biofilms from the European Society for Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases and is one of the senior editors of the journal ‘Biofilm’. Since 2019 he is also a member of the International Scientific Advisory Board of NBIC.
