CYTO-VUB : short history of the research team. Bert Geerts (29/09/1952 - 24/01/2009). The roots of our team go back to the 1980s. On 24th January 2009, Prof. Geerts has passed away. Evidently this had many consequences with respect to the organization of the lab. Prof. Alain Dupont, dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy of VUB, became interim head. Of CYTO and Prof. Leo van Grunsven replaced Prof. Geerts as lecturer for Bioinformatics and part of the Cytology course. The partnership of Albert Geer...
