ValorisationIn 2013 I tried to file an IP concerning the technology (PIE-FI microscopy, seeBibliography)Idevelopedwithmyco-workersatLMUMunich,butthetechnologywasnot patentable. Currently, we are collaborating directly with manufacturers (Zeiss,Leica), because making our development broadly accessible is important for thescientificcommunity.
Societalimpact- I strive forbroadlyaccessibleresearch,which is f.e.why Idirectly contacted thePress service of KU Leuven after the publication of our HIVwork ACS Nano. Thisresultedinthreebroad-audiencearticlesconcerningourwork:o Campuskrant, jaargang 25, nr. 9, 28/05/2014 – ‘Hiv-deeltje omgetoverd tot
proefbuis om geneesmiddelen te testen’(http://www.kuleuven.be/ck/files/ck25-nr09.pdf)(newspaperofKULeuven).
o Knackmagazine,nr.27,02/07/2014–‘Eiwittenvolgenineenvirus’(doorDirkDraulans) (http://magazine.knack.be/weekblad/magazines/02-07-2014/#,gedrukteversie)(KnackisaBelgian(Flemisch)weeklynewsmagazinecoveringlocalnews,politics,sports,business,jobs,andcommunityevents)
o Imaging&Microscopy Newsletter May 14, 2014 (http://www.imaging-git.com/news/single-molecule-fluorescence-imaging-new-technique-tracks-protein-single-hiv-particle)
- I gladly allow mentioning our work onmeta-scientific forums. For example, wewrote ameta-scientific review of our latestwork onHIV assembly in theAtlas ofScience: http://atlasofscience.org/on-their-way-out-structural-hiv-proteins-team-up-before-escaping-from-infected-cells/#more-1894.

ResearchachievementsI am a Biophysicist who specializes in the development and application of single-molecule sensitivemulticolor fluorescencemicroscopymethods.With these, I aim atprovidingquantitativeinsightsincomplexbiologicalsystemsinvitroandinlivecells.
Expertise
BiochemistryIamknowledgeableinandhavepracticalexperiencewithmanyclassicalbiochemistrymethods such as DNA cloning, protein purification, gel chromatography, westernblotting, spectrophotometry/fluorometry, alpha-screen protein-protein interactionassay, chromatin fractionation assays, eukaryotic cell culture/transfection, virus/viralvector production and purification, ultracentrifugation, gradient centrifugation,multiparameterplatereading,ultrafiltration,dialysis...
OpticalmicroscopyI am an expert in fluorescence microscopy in general, and have much practicalexperience with wide-field fluorescence, confocal (laser scanning) microscopy, totalinternal reflection, single-molecule, ultrafast alternating excitation multicolormicroscopy(pulsedinterleavedexcitation),time-correlationsinglephotoncountingandFörsterresonanceenergytransfer.Iamalsoanexpertatbuildingsuchsystemsmyself.
BiologyI am very knowledgeable in the biology of HIV, and also work / have worked ondifferentaspectsoftranscription/translationmachineriesandmicrobiology.
Dataanalysis&programmingIamanexpertintimeorspacedependentcorrelationanalysisoffluorescencedataorimages. Specific methods include Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and Rasterimage correlation spectroscopy, both in single and dual-color, and both withcontinuous-waveorpulsedexcitation/TCSPCdetection.Havingcollaboratedintimatelywithbiologistsoverthelast10years,Irealizetheimportanceofcomprehensive,easy-to-usesoftwareforrobustanalysisofallkindsoffluorescencedata.

Quantifying these equilibria in a live-cell approachprovidesmechanisticinsightsintothesesystems.AmajorresearchlineIputforwardduring my PhD was setting up fluorescence methods (e.g. FCCS) for quantifyingprotein-protein binding affinities in living cells. At the time, we were one of fewresearchgroupswhocoulddothisinaquantitativemanner.Iappliedthesemethodsinmy research on HIV-1 replication, resulting in multiple publications (De Rijck et al.,2006,Hombroucketal.,2007,Hendrixetal.,2011).Ialsocomplementedthesestudies

withinvitroassaysforprobingPPIaffinities(McNeely,Hendrixetal.,2011).Mycurrentresearchcontinuesonthis.
FollowingproteinsinasinglevirusparticleOne of the objectives of my FWO postdoctoral project was engineering the humanimmunodeficiency virus such that protein-protein interactions could be studiedinsidesingleviralparticles,effectivelyturningthevirusintoa(safe)nanoscopictesttube.We firstpublishedadetailedmethodological studyon this (Borrenberghs et al.,2014).Beinginfectious,thisengineeredviruscould,however,alsobeusedtostudyHIVreplication. Inaseriesofotherstudies,wehaveused(Desimmieetal.,2012)andareusing(Borrenberghsetal.,twopapersinpreparation)thisprincipletolearnaboutHIVandmurine leukemiavirus.Thisworkhasbeencovered indifferentmedia (includingthenewspaperofKULeuvenandKnackmagazine).
AcolorfulfutureforfluorescenceimagingWithfundingfromFWOFlanders(Postdocgrantandtravelgrant),Idevelopedanewfluorescence imagingmethodat theuniversityofMunich (PIE-FI), that allowsanextraordinarily quantitative analysis of many biomolecular properties fromfluorescenceimagesobtainedbymulti-colorconfocalmicroscopy(Hendrixetal.,2012,Hendrixetal.,2013,Hendrixetal.,2014).PIE-FIupgradesaclassicalandwidelyusedconfocal microscope to an in vivo platform for biophysical chemistry. Althoughpublishedonlyin2013,thismethodisbeingcitedverywell,andwashighlightedintheBiophysicalJournalNewandNotablecolumn.Iampioneeringthis,andatKULeuvenIam currently setting up and further developing this novelmethod (IWT funded PhDprojectofNielsVandenberkandprojectfundingbyFWOn.G0B4915N).IalsorecentlypublishedadetailedinvestigationofHIVassemblywithPIE-FI(Hendrixetal.2015)andinacollaborativeeffort,PIE-FIwasusedtoprobeproteinsinvolvedinthemyelinsheetofneuronal cells (Ozgenet al., 2014). I like to refer toPIE-FI asnext-generation laserscanningmicroscopy.
ProbingbiomolecularfunctionbeyondstructureInlateyears,ithasbeenacceptedthatbiomolecularmacromoleculeshardlyeverformstatic 3D (tertiary) structures. Rather, a protein often structurally wobbles around,sometimesrandomly,butmoreoften thannotalso functionally.Such fuzziness isveryhard,ifnotimpossibletoinvestigateusingcommonlyusedstructuralbiologymethodssuchasX-rayorNMR.AnewresearchlinethatIsetupatKULeuvenisthequantitativeanalysisofproteinsuper-tertiarystructure(conformation)inrealtimeusingFörsterresonanceenergytransferatthesingle-moleculelevel.Thisisarelativelynewresearchfield thatperfectly complementsdynamic information frommolecularmodellingwithstaticinformationfrome.g.X-raystudies.Importantly,thebiophysicalresearchfieldinBelgium,thatencompassesmanystructuralbiologists,hasbeenawaitingamethodlikethis for a long time, I have come to notice.

Attention,transcriptionfactorsatwork!AnothermajorgoalIputforwardduringmyPhDwasquantifyingchromatinbindingof transcription factors (TFs) in living cells with fluorescence correlationspectroscopy. In particular, I chose a TF implicated in the life cycle of the HIV,LEDGF/p75,toalsolearnaboutviralpathologyandkilltwobirdswithonestone.InthefirstpaperIwroteaboutthis(Hendrixetal.,2011),weprovidedadetailedinsightinthekineticregimethatdefinestheinsandoutsofLEDGF/p75intracellularmovement,andtheeffectofHIVproteinsonthis.ThispaperisverywellcitedintheHIVandchromatinfield. I also published some follow-up papers on this work, studying LEDGF/p75 indetailinacontrolledinvitroenvironment(McNeely,Hendrixetal.,2011andHendrix,VanHeertumetal.,2014),andstudyingother transcription factors(Bartholomeeusenetal.,2009)orHIVinhibitors(Desimmieetal.,2012)withthemethodologicaltoolboxIhadsetupduringmyPhD.
BetterprobesforfluorescencemicroscopyHigh-end fluorescencemicroscopyneeds thebest fluorescent probes. In our researchgroup,wedevelopneworganicdyebasedprobes, newnaturally fluorescentproteinswithtailoredproperties.Inoneparticularfirst-authorpublicationofmine(withresultsfrom my Master’s thesis)(Hendrix et al., 2008), I analyzed the spectroscopicpropertiesofsomenovelredFPs,andtheirperformanceinfluorescencecorrelationspectroscopy.Thispublicationisoneofmybest-citedpapers,sincecountlessresearchgroups are still using these probes. Today,we are still performing similar studies onotherprobes(near-infraredFPs,PhDprojectNielsVandenberk,Iammentor/assessor)and are developing novel RFPs with optimized quantum yields using a fluorescencelifetimescreeningapproach(FWOprojectn.G0B4915N,inwhichIamco-supervisor).
CompletepublicationlistSince 2006, I have published 21 articles in peer-reviewed internationally recognizedjournals, including top journals such as the Journal of Cell Biology (first author),ACSNano (last & corresponding author), Nucleic Acids Research (first author), NatureCommunications and PLoS Pathogens. I am corresponding author of 3 papers. I havepublished together with different groups at KU Leuven (Patrick Van Dijck, JohanThevelein, Zeger Debyser, Jan Delcour/Christoph Courtin, Guido Volckaert/RobLavigne),UGent(KevinBraeckmans/StefaanDeSmedt)andatuniversitiesworldwide(Germany,US,TheNetherlands).

AbstractFluorescence fluctuation imaging is a powerful means to investigate dynamics,interactions, and stoichiometry of proteins inside living cells. Pulsed interleavedexcitation(PIE)isthemethodofnanosecondalternatingexcitationwithtime-resolveddetection andallows accurate, independent, andquasi-simultaneousdeterminationoffluorescence intensities and lifetimes of different fluorophores. In this work, wecombinepulsed interleavedexcitationwithfluctuation imagingmethods(PIE-FI)suchas raster image correlation spectroscopy (RICS) or number and brightness analysis(N&B). More specifically, we show that quantitative measurements of diffusion andmolecular brightness of Venus fluorescent protein (FP) can be performed in solutionwith PIE-RICS and compare PIE-RICS with single-point PIE-FCS measurements. Wediscuss the advantages of cross-talk free dual-color PIE-RICS and illustrate itsproficiency by quantitatively comparing two commonly used FP pairs for dual-colormicroscopy, eGFP/mCherry and mVenus/mCherry. For N&B analysis, we implementdead-timecorrectiontothePIE-FIdataanalysistoallowaccuratemolecularbrightnessdetermination with PIE-NB. We then use PIE-NB to investigate the effect of eGFPtandem oligomerization on the intracellularmaturation efficiency of the fluorophore.Finally, we explore the possibilities of using the available fluorescence lifetimeinformation in PIE-FI experiments, allowing us to quantitatively determinemolecularconcentrationsfrom100nMdownto<30pMwithPIE-rasterlifetimeimagecorrelationspectroscopy(RLICS).Weusethefluorescencelifetimeinformationtoperformarobustdual-color lifetime-based FRET analysis of tandem fluorescent protein dimers. Lastly,we investigate the use of dual-color RLICS to resolve codiffusing FRET species fromnon-FRETspeciesincells.Theenhancedcapabilitiesandquantitativeresultsprovidedby PIE-FImake it a powerfulmethod that is broadly applicable to a large number ofinterestingbiophysicalstudies.

AbstractNearlyallcellularanddiseaserelatedfunctionsofthetranscriptionalco-activatorlensepithelium-derived growth factor (LEDGF/p75) involve tethering of interactionpartners to chromatin via its conserved integrase binding domain (IBD), but little isknownabout themechanismof invivochromatinbindingand tethering. In thisworkwestudiedLEDGF/p75inreal-timeinlivingHeLacellscombiningdifferentquantitativefluorescencetechniques:spotfluorescencerecoveryafterphotobleaching(sFRAP)andhalf-nucleus fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (hnFRAP), continuousphotobleaching, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) and an improved FCSmethod to study diffusion dependence of chromatin binding, tunable focus FCS.LEDGF/p75movesaboutinnucleioflivingcellsinachromatinhopping/scanningmodetypicalfortranscriptionfactors.ThePWWPdomainofLEDGF/p75isnecessary,butnotsufficient for in vivo chromatinbinding.After interactionwithHIV-1 integrase via itsIBD,ageneralprotein-proteininteractionmotif,kineticsofLEDGF/p75shiftto75-foldlarger affinity for chromatin. The PWWP is crucial for locking the complex onchromatin. We propose a scan-and-lock model for LEDGF/p75, unifying paradoxicalnotionsoftranscriptionalco-activationandlentiviralintegrationtargeting.

AbstractMonomeric red fluorescent proteins (mRFPs) have become indispensable tools forstudyingproteindynamics,interactionsandfunctionsinthecellularenvironment.Theiremission spectrum can be well separated from other fluorescent proteins, and theirmonomeric structure preserves the natural function of fusion proteins. However,previousphotophysicalstudiesofsomeRFPshaveshownthepresenceoflight-induceddarkstatesthatcancomplicatetheinterpretationofcellularexperiments.Inthisarticle,we extend these studies to mRFP1, mCherry, and mStrawberry by means offluorescence correlation spectroscopy and prove that this light-driven intensityflickering also occurs in these proteins. Furthermore, we show that the flickering inthese proteins is pH-dependent. Single molecule spectroscopy revealed reversibletransitionsfromabrighttoadarkstateinseveraltimescales,evenuptoseconds.Time-resolvedfluorescencespectroscopyshowedmultiexponentialdecays,consistentwitha"loose'' conformation.Weoffera structuralbasis for the fluorescence flickeringusingknowncrystal structuresandpointout that theenvironmentofGlu-215 iscritical forthe pH dependence of the flickering in RFPs. We apply dual-color fluorescencecorrelation spectroscopy inside live cells to prove that this flickering can seriouslyhampercellularmeasurements if thetimescalesof the flickeringanddiffusionarenotwellseparated.
MotivationThis ismy first first-author paper that I wrote based on experiments I carried outduringmyMaster’s thesis. Itwas the first in-depth analysis ofmRFPs,which at thetimewerebecomingthe fluorescent labelsofchoice formulticolor imaging inside livecells.Anexampleofdoingtherightsetofexperimentsattherighttime,itbecameawell-respected and verywell-cited work in the fluorescence field. It still receivesabout 10 citationsper year. Itwas also referenced in Biophotonics, an online journaldiscussinglatestdevelopmentsinthebiologicalapplicationsfieldofphotonics.
