about: 'Toon obtained his Master\'s degree in Biomedical Sciences, with a major in Systems Biology, in 2019. His interest in the informatics courses within his programme led him to apply to Prof. Lennart Martens to pursue a PhD in the CompOmics group. Outside research, Toon has a passion for soccer and even used to be a semi-professional soccer player until injuries prevented him from continuing. To still enjoy his passion for the sport, he now plays walking football.',
currentWork: 'He is a predoctoral researcher shared between CompOmics and the Ghent University De Preter group. During his PhD, he has worked on a large citizen science project integrated into a mobile game, and on multi-omics tissue prediction. Next to that, he also serves as a teaching assistant for bioinformatics in the Biomedical Sciences programme.',

about: 'Robbe obtained his Master\'s degree in Biomedical Sciences, with a major in Systems Biology, in 2023. He carried out his Master\'s thesis in CompOmics, where he investigated the oxidation landscape using open modification searches and, having discovered his love for data science (and his dislike for the wet lab), accepted an invitation from Dr. Robbin Bouwmeester and Prof. Lennart Martens to perform a PhD in the group. Outside of work, Robbe enjoys going to concerts and the theatre, and watching football.',
currentWork: 'His PhD work focuses on benchmarking, MS imaging, and improving bioinformatics workflows for ion mobility-enabled mass spectrometry. He is the main developer of IM2Deep, and has contributed to MS²Rescore and ProteoBench.',
