Lore De Bruyne

Lore De Bruyne has a diverse work experience spanning several companies and roles. They started their career in 2012 as a student job at VF Corporation, where they gained valuable work experience. They later worked as a research intern at KU Leuven, focusing on the molecular evolution of a thermostable polymerase. After that, they completed an internship at Biomedische onderzoekscentrum (BIOMED), where they identified in vivo targets of antibodies in Reumatoid arthritis.

In 2016, Lore had a student job at Solucious - part of Colruyt Group before returning to KU Leuven as a Master Thesis Student. For their master thesis, they explored the role of royalactin in mediating longevity via mRNA and protein turnover in the model organism C. elegans.

Lore's professional career continued as a Scientific Volunteer at UHasselt in 2017, followed by a role as a Lab Technician at VIB. At VIB, they were responsible for health and safety in the lab, training new staff, and managing stocks. They also performed various lab techniques, such as molecular work and cell culture.

In 2020, Lore joined eTheRNA immunotherapies as a Process Development Associate. They focused on the development and optimization of purification processes for mRNA, with a goal to commercialize immunotherapies for cancer patients.

In 2022, Lore worked at Galapagos as an Associate Scientist Hit & Target Finding. They gained experience in evaluating small molecules through biochemical and cellular assays, using advanced automation and data analysis software.

Lore's most recent work experience is as a Research Associate at Muna Therapeutics, starting in 2023.

Lore De Bruyne completed a Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry en Biotechnology from KU Leuven, from 2012 to 2015. Lore then pursued a Master's degree in the same field from KU Leuven, which they completed from 2015 to 2017. Prior to their university studies, they attended Sint-Jozef-Klein-Seminarie from 2006 to 2012, where they focused on Science - Mathematics. In addition, they obtained a certification for their Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry en Biotechnology from KU Leuven, although the specific details of when and where they obtained this certification are not provided.
