During his honours program, he conducted research on alpha-galactosylceramide analogs as iNKT-cell antigens and explored piperidine scaffolds as bacterial transglycosylase inhibitors for his master\u2019s thesis. In 2019, he embarked on a PhD program in Medicinal Chemistry at Ghent University, with a focus on developing PROTAC-based therapies to degrade important oncogenic targets in pediatric cancer, specifically neuroblastoma. To further expand his knowledge in TPD, he joined the CeTPD as a visiting student in the beginning of October 2023. In his free time, Simon is a competitive badminton player and trainer. He also enjoys mountain biking and playing board games.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Degree(s) Bachelor in Pharmaceutical Sciences at Ghent University, 2017 Master in Drug Development at Ghent University, 2019 Staff email SKrols001@dundee.ac.uk Profile Simon is from Belgium and studied pharmaceutical sciences, graduated with an MSc in drug development.
