Professor Tom Vanden Berghe earned his Master's and PhD in Science (Biotechnology) in 1999 and 2005, respectively. Following his doctoral studies, he pursued postdoctoral research at the VIB-UGent Center for Inflammation Research. In 2018, he was appointed as an Assistant Professor at the University of Antwerp and as a Guest Professor at Ghent University. In 2023, he was promoted to an Associate Professor.
Professor Vanden Berghe is head of the Cell Death Signaling Lab at University of Antwerp. His mission is to conduct applied research focusing on cell death, particularly ferroptosis, pyroptosis (inflammation), and associated diseases. The Vanden Berghe Lab investigates mechanisms, diagnostics, and intervention strategies related to critical illnesses, brain injuries, kidney and vascular diseases. In addition, the team explores the potential of ferroptosis as a novel anti-cancer therapy for eliminating therapy-resistant cancers. Professor Vanden Berghe has established a comprehensive ferroptosis platform encompassing novel lead ferroptosis inhibitors and genes, ferroptosis diagnostics, and ferroptosis-based nanomedicine for anti-cancer therapeutics.
