**About VIB-UGent Center for Medical Biotechnology**:
The VIB-UGent Center for Medical Biotechnology (CMB) focuses on the development of new and innovative molecular tools and technologies to challenge human health problems. The Center translates its novel technologies and insights to widely applicable research tools, vaccines, diagnostics and biopharmaceuticals. Our research pushes the boundaries of protein-focused biomolecular and bioinformatics research and engineering technologies. CMB educates and trains the next generation of medical biotechnology researchers and informs the public on the impact of biotechnology on human
health.

**Description**:
Patients on a chronic glucocorticoid treatment regimen experience detrimental side effects (hyperglycemia leading to diabetes, weight gain, osteoporosis, etc.). Through our research, we aim to provide unique, in-depth knowledge-based, insights that facilitate improved early-stage triage of compounds in compound screen exercises. The Translational Nuclear Receptor Research lab headed by Karolien De Bosscher is collaborating with the mass spectrometry lab of Kris Gevaert and also with the LUMC Institute in Leiden for the pharmacological analysis of a novel generation of compounds that can change the shape and behavior of the glucocorticoid receptor, to improve the understanding of how these steroid receptors may selectively achieve gene transcription.
